Reasons why Bonnie Blue may have been 'arrested' in Bali and could face deportation from the country
The online buzz surrounding adult entertainer Bonnie Blue’s so‑called “Bali Bangbus” has just taken a new turn. Local police are reportedly ready to launch an investigation - not for the content she’s posting but because her vehicle appears to be illegally modified and hasn’t paid tax in over two years. That could mean she ends up deported from Indonesia.
Authorities say the ute was originally registered as white but has been repainted a dark blue - a change clearly visible in her recent social media posts. The vehicle’s tax expired in 2023. A local source said via The Daily Mail, “It is actually illegal.”
Illegal vehicle alterations could land her in trouble
The issue is more than cosmetic. If the bus’s color doesn’t match its registration certificate (the STNK), the driver risks a fine of up to 500,000 rupiah (around AU $46) or two months behind bars. On top of that, the ute lacks valid vehicle tax and has never been properly re‑registered since it was repainted.
For it to become legal, Bonnie would need to visit a vehicle registration office with her ID, the STNK, the vehicle ownership papers, and proof from the workshop that did the repaint. Only then could it be inspected and re‑registered, per LBC.
Crackdown on illegal vehicles already underway
Indonesian police carried out a three‑day crackdown in May against improperly modified cars and those driven without proper paperwork, particularly in tourist hotspots.
Officials targeted cities including Canggu, Uluwatu, Kuta, and Seminyak - seizing 56 vehicles and issuing citations to 81 drivers, 30 of whom were tourists. Given reports Bonnie has been driving in those exact areas, authorities may now view her as an easy target for enforcement.
Legal and visa issues could add up fast
The vehicle probe is hardly Bonnie’s only concern. Her work as a sex entertainer could bring more serious consequences in a country where sex work is often treated as a crime against morality. She has previously been banned from Australia after declaring her intentions to film explicit content with freshly turned 18‑year‑olds during Schoolies.
After her visa was cancelled she confirmed she would remain in Bali. In a recent clip aimed at school leavers, she said “Hey boys, those that are going to Schoolies and those who are barely legal - cannot wait to meet you. And I'm in Bali, so you know exactly what that means.”
That public declaration could attract attention from immigration and law enforcement far beyond a simple traffic violation. With the vehicle problems now out in the open, she may find herself facing far more than a fine or a repainting requirement if authorities choose to act.
