They would be arrested. All people are required to clear customs and immigration, regardless of their arrival method.
In my country someone can arrive on a boat, and go to the customs office in the city afterwards, so maybe the teleporting bhikkhu can do that.

They found only the canoe, not the body.
Very strange story. Perhaps some foul play.
