The Indonesian government recently announced plans for a new tourism fee. Effective 14 February 2024 onwards, all international visitors to Bali will be required to pay 150,000 IDR (approximately 10 USD) on arrival.
This one-time payment is required prior to entry, whether by land, sea, or air. Guests can pre-pay by card, bank transfer or with virtual accounts via the official website (https://lovebali.baliprov.go.id/). Alternatively, the levy may be paid on the spot by credit card.
A digital receipt will be issued post-payment and must be presented at various checkpoints throughout the stay. This receipt remains valid for the entire duration of the visit to Indonesia, even if travellers exit and re-enter Bali.
Please note that this fee is independent of the Indonesia Visa fees. For most nationalities, an e-visa can be easily be obtained (here) for 500,000 IDR.
