FAQ
Q: Can a foreigner be arrested in Bali without a warrant?
Yes. In Indonesia, police can make a warrantless arrest in certain situations, including when a person is caught in the act of committing an offence. If you are arrested, ask to speak with a lawyer immediately and request consular notification.
Q: How long can police hold a foreign national in Bali without charging them?
Police may detain a person briefly for initial processing, but detention is governed by Indonesian criminal procedure and depends on the stage of the case and the legal basis for detention. Do not assume there is a single fixed period in every case, because the timeline can change once a person is formally named as a suspect and depending on the offence.
Q: Do I have the right to a lawyer if arrested in Bali?
Yes. A suspect has the right to legal assistance, and in serious cases legal representation is especially important. If you are questioned by police, do not sign statements you do not fully understand before getting legal advice and, where needed, an interpreter
