Meulaboh Immigration Office in the Aceh regency of West Aceh has deported four US dentists for misusing their tourist visas.

Immigration officer Suryo Santoso said Thursday the four dentists arrived in West Aceh on Thursday last week. Instead of enjoying their holiday, the dentists opened free medical services for about a week in the Buddha Tzu Chi housing complex in Meureubo district, he added.

The four dentists are identified as Steven Kyle Cromwell, 50, of Missisippi, William Clinton Sasser, 67, of Alabama, John Zechariah Thobaben, 30, of Connecticut and Michael Lee Fredman, 44, of Missouri.

“They will be banned from visiting Indonesia for a year in accordance with the immigration law,” said Suryo as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

Cromwell had several time visited Aceh for humanitarian missions with an international non-governmental organization, he added.
