Indonesian immigration developing QR code tech to monitor movement of foreigners said, as quoted by state news agency Antara.
QR (quick response) codes have become ubiquitous in Indonesia in recent years, particularly in the use of e-payment systems, but the tech may soon be used for Black Mirror-esque surveillance of foreigners if the Immigration Office gets its wish. Speaking to the media yesterday, Immigration Director Ronny Franky Sompie said that the institution is developing a monitoring system for foreigners in Indonesia using the matrix barcode. “We are developing a QR code technology to be placed on the passports or visas of foreigners so we can monitor their movements,” Ronny
Ronny explained that hotels and transportation facilities will be given a special app to scan the QR codes, which will instantly relay information about the code holder’s whereabouts to a team tasked with monitoring foreigners in Immigration. “If a foreigner stays at a hotel or wherever else, the owner of the establishment can report [their stay] by scanning the QR code in their passport using an app on the smartphone. The data will be sent to the Immigration Office. If [a foreigner] books a train ticket, we can also track where they’re going [using the QR code],” he said. Ronny said Immigration has advised the government to issue a Perpres (Presidential Decree) to give legal justification for the new surveillance technology. He did not say how close to being implemented the QR code system is on either the legal or technological development fronts.
Foreigners already have to carry and show their passports when checking in at hotels or for train trips and flights, with the passport often photocopied for record keeping purposes. The proposed QR code tech would presumably speed up any process of accommodation establishments and public transportation facilities in sharing information that could map out the movement of foreigners with the government. The tech was actually teased by the Immigration Office back in January, who said then that it would be used to monitor not only tourists, but also foreigners residing in Indonesia. Immigration said they wanted to develop a more practical system to monitor foreigners on the back of having sanctioned 4,672 foreigners in the form of deportation and/or fine for overstaying throughout 2018.

Now we love Echo Beach for our surf breaks, our market finds, sandy-footed sunset binnies and seafood buffet BBQs – but Tonic Spa has got us heading coast ways for something FAR more luxurious. Step off the dusty track on Padang Linjong and into Tonic Day Spa and Botanicals – Canggu’s very own slice of Palm Springs. Think pastel pink, turquoise and blue pantones, crisp white architecture, neon signage, flocks of flamboyant flamingos and of course - palm trees! Come for the day spa, stay for the instapotential at this idyllic tropical oasis. Now the preening and pampering possibilities are endless at Tonic - with a total of four individual treatment rooms, four couples rooms and two triple rooms for those girl gang getaways. Each gorgeous room is self-contained with its own private shower and AC. Our fave features? The massive deep terrazzo baths in the couples rooms, the sparkling eco-friendly turquoise floors (which are actually made from crushed Bintang bottles!) and the palm tree-printed walls. So. Damn. Cute! Boasting a whole range of luxurious spa treatments – Tonic’s fusion of both modern and traditional techniques from a mix of different cultures makes them one of the more unique and diverse spas we’ve seen in Canggu. Botanical Herbal massage, Hot Stone Therapy and Indian Head Massage to name just a few that sound divine. Keen to try something a little different? Melt your stress away with the Bamboo Massage – combining traditional Swedish deep tissue massage with aroma oiled bamboo rods, for those extra tight knots and muscular tension. Choose from 60, 90 or 120 minutes of bliss. You’ll be rolled, kneaded, slid and tapped into a deep state of relaxation in no time! Just after your regular maintenance? Easy. Choose from a range of hair treatments, deluxe manicures, full-body scrubs and facials – the options are endless. For something a little more special, may we recommend the Balinese Royal Treatment. Practiced in the palace since the 17th century, this regal experience takes place in the spacious couples spa suite at Tonic. Now we don’t always spend time pampering ourselves – but when we do, it’s for a solid 180 minutes of the absolute works. Living our best lives is our forte - and nothing says ladies of leisure quite like swanning around in matching palm tree robes, darling. Featuring a Javanese Lulur - a traditional ritual that cleanses, softens and purifies the skin while relaxing the body and mind, this treatment was originally performed on the royal family or brides-tobe. A foot ritual begins this beautiful regime, followed by a Balinese massage, gentle body scrub, facial, botanical floral bath & nourishing full-body moisturise. Eau natural beauties, this one’s for you. All of the products used at Tonic feature natural, organic ingredients – many of which are mixed in house! Think yoghurt and oatmeal scrub, a virgin coconut oil facial massage, a cucumber mask for calming and cooling and a turmeric & rice flour body scrub to slough away dead skin cells. Big ups to mother nature for making us our most polished, prettiest selves! Can we just take a minute to discuss the floral bath. This giant tub is prepared with a herbal mix of lemongrass, lime, ginger and mint and then sprinkled with pink flowers. Our idea of heaven, basically. Sip on a pink vodka guava cocktail as you soak and splash to your heart’s content. PSST: be careful not to skip the retail corner in your post-pamper blissed out state.. Shop Tonic’s own signature blend massage oil and a selection of Aussie made products from the likes of Thankyou Company and Palm Beach Collection (THE most delicious scented candles). The next time you find yourself hot, sandy, sunburnt and bothered – ditch the beach and seek refuge at Tonic Day Spa & Botanicals. Your mind, body and soul will thank you for it!
