The 34 year old Norwegian arrived on a flight from Singapore on Wednesday.
All five men were questioned and it was established they had travelled to Perth to attend an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Gypsy Jokers OMCG.
The men had their eVisitor 651 visas cancelled amid fears they may present a risk to the community.

'These gangs pose a significant threat to our community and are known to be involved in serious criminal activity including drug trafficking and violent crime,' ABF Regional Commander for Western Australia, Rod O'Donnell, said.
'Any non-citizen involved with a criminal organisation, including outlaw motorcycle gangs, can expect to have their Australian visa cancelled on arrival and be removed from the country.'
The men were held at the Perth Immigration Detention Centre.
The Spanish nationals were removed from the country on Tuesday night, while the Germans and Norwegian were removed on Thursday.
