This study examines the urgency of foreign nationals' (WNA) legal status and visa compliance in the vehicle rental business in Bali, as well as its impact on business disputes involving local entrepreneurs. The increasing number of international tourists visiting Bali has spurred the growth of vehicle rental services, yet it has also given rise to illegal practices by foreign nationals such as misuse of tourist visas for commercial purposes, tax evasion, and unfair business competition. This research adopts a normative juridical method using statute, conceptual, and case approaches, referring to key legal documents including Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration, Law No. 6 of 2023 on Manpower, Ministerial Regulation No. 21 of 2016, and Bali Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2016 on Tour Guiding. The findings highlight the vulnerability of rental contracts under Article 1548 of the Indonesian Civil Code, risks of breach of contract, and widespread violations of the Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) system, the penalties of which are imposed on rental owners. Nationality disparities and weak immigration oversight further undermine the effectiveness of law enforcement. This study concludes that legal protection for local business actors relies heavily on the legal clarity of WNA status, the appropriateness of 1 visa categories, and strong inter-agency coordination. The novelty of this research lies in integrating legal analysis of WNA legitimacy with a dispute resolution framework specific to the vehicle rental sector in Bali’s tourism landscape a perspective that has been largely overlooked in prior studies. The recommendations include strengthening rental contracts, enhancing coordinated supervisory mechanisms, and harmonizing civil and criminal law to establish a stronger deterrent effect.

This study aims to examine one of the efforts in creating order and safety on the highway by implementing the Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) system as an alternative to electronic traffic violation enforcement, without direct interaction between officers and violators and to find out how the ETLE system is implemented in Serang City and to what extent its effectiveness in reducing the number of traffic violations. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of ETLE in Serang City has been running quite well, supported by surveillance camera technology and an integrated reporting system. However, there are still obstacles such as the lack of public understanding of this system and the limited coverage of the ETLE monitoring area. The implementation of ETLE is a progressive step in traffic law enforcement, but it needs to be accompanied by more massive socialization and development of supporting infrastructure so that the results achieved are more optimal.

This research is intended to: (1) find out how effective the implementation of Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) is for traffic violations based on Law no. 22 of 2009 concerning Traffic in Gorontalo City. The research results show, first, the implementation of the ETLE system for traffic violations based on the LLAJ Law in Gorontalo City is to modernize the system for handling traffic violations, enforce traffic laws, and in order to instill a culture of compliance in traffic. Apart from that, the implementation of the ETLE system in Gorontalo City is quite effective and better than conventional systems because the ETLE system can produce more violation data, is efficient in terms of time, and does not require deploying officers in the field directly. Second, the factors that hinder the implementation of the ETLE system in Gorontalo City are the lack of a culture of traffic compliance by the community, a mismatch between the data held by officers and the data recorded by the ETLE system, and the ETLE system not being able to detect certain types of violations.
