Bali’s new tourist tax launches — here’s how to pay it
14.02.2024 - 19:15 / thepointsguy.com
From Feb. 14, foreign travelers visiting Bali in Indonesia will be required to pay a new tourist tax upon entry or before visiting the region.
The fee costs 150,000 rupiahs (around $9.50) and is in addition to any other visa fees. The tax aims to combat overtourism on the popular island.
Although the fee will not currently be enforced in other parts of Indonesia, travelers must pay it during each visit to Bali. This includes leaving Bali to visit another Indonesian island and returning during the same trip.

While the fee will apply to visiting tourists — including children — international travelers who have Kartu Izin Tinggal Tetap (Indonesia's permanent stay permit card); family unification, golden or student visas; or other specific non-tourist visas will be exempt from paying the tax.
According to officials, the tax will fund tourism management and help maintain Balinese culture. It will also be used for environmental cleanup efforts and disaster management.
To pay the tax, you have two options.
Desktop users can visit the Love Bali website for additional information about the charge and payment options. Mobile users can also download the Love Bali app (IOS/Android) to learn more about the tax.
Both options will provide several ways to pay the tax, including with credit cards like Visa, Mastercard and American Express, before confirming your details (name, email, passport number and arrival date).
From there, you should be able to process your payment, which will be confirmed by email.
Bali launched a new tourist tax for international travelers that's now in effect. The fee must be paid every time you visit Bali and will cost around $9.50. You can find out more information at the Love Bali website.
