DRUG mule Schapelle Corby will leave it to the 11th hour to decide how she will unceremoniously farewell Bali most likely forever, leaving authorities anxious about their most famous Australian prisoner.

Corby has to be forcibly deported by close-of-play tomorrow but the timings are still not clear and even the procedures unknown.

For days Balinese prosecutors, corrections officials and immigration officers have appealed to the Corbys to follow procedure, have her visit their offices and sign her relevant release papers before they will escort her to the plane door for her return flight home.

But as late as Friday authorities were still not sure when she will visit the parole office for her final sign out and now have to consider whether they will have to visit her instead.

Thursday was a public holiday and it was anticipated she would have done all the paper work the day before with a veiled threat if she didn’t she could face unspecified “sanctions”.

But they were clear, whatever the process, their “headache” will leave Indonesia tomorrow, possibly forever if her passport is stamped as such.

THE RETURN: Schapelle keeps authorities guessing

Airport officials spoken to by News Corp Australia said yesterday they still had not been advised and had been unable to make arrangements to make it a smooth exit.

“We just haven’t been told yet, no one knows,” one said.

It is understood the Australian Consulate has her new passport prepared to give to her on her departure.

Her departure including the signing of parole and immigration release papers could technically be done on the tarmac if she continues to refuse to visit the various authorities citing stress from the attention of media.

Ironically her team is still seeking a financial deal for her to tell her story about her unexpected island home for the past 13 years.

Outside her home, media crew awaited word. One, from Channel 7, was doused in water from over her wall.
