Bali's tourist levy
Visitors to Bali pay IDR 150,000 each, once, however long they stay. Pay it on the official Love Bali site or app, or at the airport.
You will also see it called the Bali tourism levy or the Bali tourist tax. They are one charge, which Bali Province calls the Pungutan Wisatawan Asing. It is paid on the way in, once per trip, not when you leave.
When you pay
Since 14 February 2024 every foreign visitor to Bali pays a one-off levy of IDR 150,000 per entry, whatever their age. It is paid once per trip into Bali, not per night, and is separate from Indonesia's visa on arrival.
Pay it only on the official Love Bali site or app, through an authorised agent, or at the airport counters: you get a QR voucher to show if asked. The province stepped up checks in 2025 after finding many visitors had not paid.

Still unconfirmed
Not everything is published officially yet, and these points we could not confirm.
- The full list of exempt visa types: the official site links to an exemption application but does not list the categories.
- Whether every airline includes the airport passenger charge in its fares, so there is no departure tax to pay at the airport: travel guides and Indonesian news say it is part of the ticket, but we did not find an official page for Bali.
