“Begpackers,” people who travel to a foreign country and beg for money from the locals to fund their vacation, has become such a problem in Indonesia that Bali immigration has created a plan to bring all foreigners caught doing this act to their respective embassies.
Setyo Budiwardoyo, an official from Ngurah Rai’s Immigration Office, expressed the problem of growing numbers of foreigners causing problems in the country while speaking to Indonesian news site Detik News via Coconuts Bali.
“We have seen many cases of problematic tourists, lately they are either Australian, British or Russian. We tend to report these cases to the relevant embassies, so they can oversee their citizens who are on holiday here,” he said.

In 2017, infamous German Benjamin Holst was barred from entering several Asian nations after it was revealed that he conned many kindhearted Thai citizens in 2014 when he pretended to have a swollen foot and begged for their money. He was also caught by Indonesian authorities in 2016 and was deported.

I thought this was going to be about something else.

I gotta think a lot of the baws who like to vacation on this board would do this because they don't work enough to have money. except for the fact that they gotta spend 5k bringing their stepkids to disney world

Never noticed it myself but had read about it. Quite the frickery.

Is this why I see so many people begging at intersections in N.O.?

I will post my thoughts on this after I finish setting up a GoFundMe to help fulfill my lifelong dream of traveling to the South of France.

People need to stop being shitty. I know people who have backpacked for months at a time with just a bike and a bit of cash. They either sleep rough, ask if a local would mind their taking shelter for the night in an outdoor structure, pay for a hostel, etc. It's not my cup of tea, but I don't have an issue with it. But going to a country and begging people who are poorer than you for money as though you are desperate is fricking awful. frick them.

That's... not actually as expensive as you might think. Now, that's not to say that it can't be as fricking expensive as you want to be, but if you stay clear of Monaco, it can be done on the (relative) cheap. It's a lot more fun if you blow it out, but still

Can we use this loophole to deport the Siegen bums?

Every Asian country has Western begpackers. Especially the SE Asian countries. Bangkok has a whole area where down and out Western millennials are slumming.They are regularly deported if they can’t demonstrate they have access to cash ,from all these countries.

Or maybe we should start taking all illegals to the nearest Mexican embassy instead of holding them ourselves?!

That’s despicable. When we went to Bali I found the people who lived there to be the friendliest, most welcoming I’ve ever met. South Louisiana doesn’t have shite on their hospitality. Sad that people would take advantage of that.

I'm going to try this in the Dominican. Never been there.

Wait they don’t get welfare and free healthcare? They must be racist xenophobes

I knew what the term meant before I even read the thread.
I know someone who went to Europe and did this. He literally had no plan other than asking people for money in order to eat while over there.
