You just need to leave the country. It doesn’t matter where you go.

My friend visas expired & has been their for 7 months approximately. He was shot & attacked so he last everything. To make a long story short. He went to court & has to go back on the 17/2/21. He has to pay the penality but has no money to pay. I want to know will he go to jail or will he get deported from Indonesia?

Unfortunately I do not know the answer. Best would be to contact the Embassy and ask for advice. I hope all works out well.
