I've already booked my ticket and supposed to be flying out next week. also I only have 25juta on my pocket, would that be ok as a fine?

In an ideal world that would be perfect, but...

I used to fly in and fly out every 30 with 1 day stopover in another countrydays back in 2007 until they started hassling me at the airport why I keep coming back to Indonesia so much.

Great, so I'm supposed to pay 432,000,000 in fines. I don't have that sort of money with me so what can I do?

[Melody]

[Melody]

Do you have anyone out the country who can wire you this money ? Good Luck...I hope you can resolve this.

Somebody who can wire me nearly half a million dollars? Nope.

[Melody]

LOL I guess not .......

[Gimp1982]

Somebody to wire me half a million dollars? Nope. Even if I did, no bank account here to wire to.

[Gimp1982]

So I guess I should just hope for the best with 25jt. in my pocket? Will let you guys know what happens. If I'm still alive,that is, lol

You don't say which country you are from? Atlantis is the man with the good advice but I would think the first one would be to go to your embassy and ask for their help to sort out your mess, as I would imagine the alternative is jail term!
