Thirteen years after she was caught smuggling cannabis into Bali in her boogie board bag, Schapelle Corby must be able to taste freedom.

Corby, who was arrested at Denpasar airport in October 2004 after getting off a flight from Brisbane, has just weeks left of her parole before her deportation to Australia.

Her Balinese parole officer, Ketut Sukiati, revealed on Tuesday that the former Gold Coast beauty therapy student was not expected to report to her again before her deportation to Australia on May 27.

"We expect her to be busy this month because of her preparation to go home next month, so I am not expecting her to report this month," Ms Ketut said.

Corby was released on parole in February 2014 after serving nine years behind bars in Kerobokan jail, but was required to stay in Indonesia until 2017 to finish her sentence.

She was hounded by the media after her release, with her brother-in-law Wayan Widyartha begging for her to be given space.

However she has managed to live quietly in Kuta over the past few years, ignoring the paparazzi who sporadically snap her jogging along the beach or buying groceries.

"Last time she came for a report she said she wants to go home of course," Ms Ketut said.

"She looked normal when she said it, not too excited or anything. She was relaxed whenever she had to come in and report if there were no media. If she saw a journalist, she changed. If there was no one she was friendly, fine, she will greet everybody, smile, she will say good morning to every staff member. But if there is media around, her face changed, she closed off."

Ms Ketut said she had asked Corby, 39, why the media kept chasing her. "Why is she special?" she asked journalists outside her office.

Asked about Corby's relationship with Indonesian Ben Panangian, Ms Ketut said Corby had said she did not have a boyfriend.

"We don't speak English much, she speaks some Indonesian, but we don't speak English so communication is limited," Ms Ketut said.

"She's not a very open person ... we have to talk to her slowly to get her to open up to us, so we can guide her [during her parole]."

On May 27, Corby will go to the parole office for the final time before being taken to the airport.

The head of Bali's Ngurah Rai immigration office, Ari Budijanto, said standard procedure was for a prisoner about to be deported to be taken to an immigration office while awaiting their flight.

Asked if the media would be allowed to stay with her as Channel Seven did following Corby's release from prison, Mr Ari said under immigration rules she would be required to be alone.

"She will have to show her face when we match her up with identification papers, other than that she can cover her face all she wants," he said. "We just need to ID her."

Shortly after Corby's release from jail in 2014, the Indonesian government said it was evaluating whether Corby's parole conditions had been violated by an interview her sister Mercedes gave to an Australian television network.
