Lombok Institute of Flight Technology - LIFT
Unfortunately for the Russian instructor, as soon as you land in Indonesia, your work visa does not give you the automatic right to leave the country. You are only able to do that with an Exit Permit, stamped in your passport, which is applied for by the company that is sponsoring you after your arrival.
The Russian instructor tried leaving on an ‘Etihad’ flight 3 weeks ago from Jakarta but he was stopped from getting on the flight because of his lack of this permit. Fortunately, he now has legal representation here and his lawyer is discussing the issue with Lombok Immigration. I do not want to say too much about his current status as this is an ongoing issue, but his embassy has already been contacted.Unfortunately, it is not just a simple case that a Russian Diplomat can escort him to the gate so that he can leave Indonesia.
