SmartTraveller, the official travel advisory platform of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, recently advised travelers to familiarize themselves with their visa conditions before visiting Indonesia.
In a post on July 3, the platform urged travelers planning to create monetized online content in Bali to ensure they obtain the appropriate visa before arrival.
"Make sure you understand your visa conditions, entry and exit requirements. Ensure you have the right visa for your trip," the advisory said.

"It's illegal to work, conduct research or volunteer if you're on a tourist visa. This includes posting content online for revenue, payment, sponsorship or other commercial purposes."
