Bali Immigration is warning tourists that influencer collabs, sponsored content, remote work, photography projects, yoga teaching, and even unpaid volunteering may now be treated as illegal work under tourist visas.
Authorities say visas like VOA and C1 are strictly for tourism — and dozens of foreigners have already been detained during recent enforcement operations.
