Hi, I overstayed my visa and cannot afford the fine. This means that I will be deported. My question is whether this means I have to fly to my home country, as the immigration officer tells me. I don't understand why this matters, and it is not in the translation of the laws that I was shown. The officer told me it is a mistranslation. He says that the Indonesian word 'deportasi' means specifically to return somebody to their own country, whereas the translation only said to leave Indonesian territory. All other translations I can find simply tranlate it to deportation, not 'deportation to home country'. However, I have searched everywhere online and cannot find a single mention of this or a translation. I really think that the guy is mistaken.
I have a flight booked to Bangkok on Saturday. I cannot afford to buy a flight back to the UK. Why does it even matter to Indonesia where I am so long as I am not in Indonesia?
Please can somebody who speaks Indonesian, perhaps check the definition of 'deportasi' in an Indonesian dictionary or similar? Thank you very much.
