If my understanding is correct, no religious group may attempt to proselyte in Indonesia.

Yeah it doesn't matter what religion you are. Foreigners can't preach it to others here. One of these guys ( Michael ) plays basketball with us on Monday/Thursday nights. He told me last week immigration had taken his passport but we're only holding onto it. He was scheduled to go back to the States on Sunday anyway.

Guess the should have said they were 'DJ's eh then they could work without visas. (Frivolous remark, not meant to be taken seriously, unless of course you believe the morons on FB 'expat Bali' forum who will threaten you with personal violence if you suggest that people who play records in clubs cannot be described as 'Cultural Performers')

Ngurah Rai Immigration have confirmed that five foreign nationals have been deported for illegally conducting Jehovah’s witness practices under a tourist visa. Two of the five were originally from the United States, identified as AM and DGL, two from Australia, identified as JRR and BJB and a French national with initials SGF. “Apparently this organization has received permission from the Director General of Christian Guidance as a social organization, however the license granted to them was not to promote their beliefs onto others,” said Mohammad Saleh, Head of Supervision and Enforcement at Ngurah Rai’s Immigration Department. “They visited residents, provided brochures, all of which are against their license under a tourist visa,” added Saleh. “They have been conducting activities since March 11. Officers arrested them when they were handing out brochures at the North Meteo Complex on Jl. Lotus 2 in Tuban promoting a Jehovah’s Witness event to be held on April 2,” concluded Saleh.

Any kind of one of entertainment gig big or small needs a clearance visa, Justin Beiber, Bob Marley's uncles sister in law, doesn't matter who they are. They also need a sponsorship from the venue/resort/hotel/promoter they will work for. Any visa agent can take care of this. Resident DJ's are different, they need an artis Kitas, one of the DJ's we work with ( Rob Soundz ) is sponsored by an entertainment company in Jakarta. From what I understand they sponsor quite a few International DJ's here in Bali. This allows them to DJ anywhere in Indonesia. Most of the Hotels we work with won't allow international acts to perform at their venue without proof of work permit. Rob Soundz website.

You and I both know that never happened, maybe your memory is leaving you, you may have been threaten by someone at sometime in that group but it had nothing to do with that particular topic. Would you like me to post the link to that discussion?
