As of February 14, 2024, the Bali Government has introduced an additional tourist tax for foreign visitors of 150,000 Indonesian rupiah (approximately AUD$15 or $10 USD).
This levy, implemented alongside the existing e-visa on arrival, is a proactive measure aimed at enhancing environmental and cultural conservation on the island. The Indonesian government emphasizes that this initiative is integral to improving service quality and safety standards for tourists.
The funds raised by the new levy, which are expected to be around $185,000 each day, will go towards conservation efforts and improving services and safety standards for visitors.

For the convenience of visitors, the tourism levy can be paid online via the LOVE BALI website or mobile app, utilizing options such as bank transfer, virtual account, or Qris payment. Essential information, including name, passport number, email, and arrival date, will be required during the payment process.
Upon payment, visitors will receive a voucher via email, which can be scanned at relevant checkpoints upon arrival.
Additionally, cashless payments can be made at Bali’s I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) and other harborside entry points.
