Because he did not get a new contract so that he overstayed, WCA reported himself to the Kediri Immigration Office. The Directorate General of Immigration repatriated WCA along with his wife and three children through Soekarno Hatta International Airport on Thursday morning.
WCA was repatriated by Qatar Airlines QR 955 on the Jakarta-Doha, Qatar route, and continued on to Brazil. His departure from Kediri to Jakarta was escorted by Immigration Intelligence and Enforcement officers (Inteldakim) of the Kediri Immigration Office in accordance with applicable standard operating procedures.
