Mandatory entry fee · 2026 update
Bali Tourist Levy explained.
Since February 2024, every foreign visitor to Bali pays an IDR 150,000 (~USD 10) Tourist Levy. It funds cultural and environmental preservation, it's mandatory for every traveller including children, and it's a separate payment from your visa. Here's how it works in 2026.

How to pay
Five-minute process, online before you fly.
- 01
Open lovebali.baliprov.go.id
The Love Bali portal is the only official channel. Other websites charging more for the same service are unofficial — they may charge a markup or, occasionally, fail to register the payment with Customs.
- 02
Enter passport details — for every traveller
Each person needs a separate entry: name, passport number, nationality, arrival date. Family groups can be registered in one session but each gets a unique QR code.
- 03
Pay IDR 150,000 per person by card
Visa, Mastercard and major international cards accepted. Currency conversion happens at your bank's rate. Some banks pre-block Indonesian transactions — check with yours, or let us bundle the levy with your visa application.

Save the QR code
Screenshot it, save the email confirmation, or print a copy. Indonesian Customs at Ngurah Rai checks the QR code on arrival — without it, you'll be redirected to a manual counter.
Common confusion
Tourist Levy vs eVOA vs Declaration Form.
Three separate things, three separate payments / submissions. Most first-time travellers think they're one transaction — they're not.

FAQ
Tourist Levy questions.
What is the Bali Tourist Levy?
A IDR 150,000 (~USD 10) per-person fee, mandatory for every foreign visitor entering Bali. Introduced in February 2024, it funds cultural and environmental preservation across the island. It applies to every traveller — adults, children and infants.
How much is the Bali Tourist Levy in 2026?
IDR 150,000 per person — approximately USD 10, AUD 15, GBP 8 or EUR 9 depending on the exchange rate. Card processing fees may add 1–3% on top.
Where do I pay the Bali Tourist Levy?
On the official Love Bali portal at lovebali.baliprov.go.id. It can also be paid at the airport on arrival but with longer queues — paying online before flying is faster. The eVOA portal does NOT include the Tourist Levy; they're two separate payments.
When should I pay the Tourist Levy?
As soon as your flight is booked. The Levy QR code is valid for 1 year from issuance, so it doesn't matter if you pay weeks ahead. Indonesian Customs at Ngurah Rai checks for the QR receipt — without it you'll be redirected to a manual payment counter on arrival.
Is the Bali Tourist Levy the same as the eVOA?
No. The eVOA is the visa (IDR 500,000) issued by Indonesian Immigration. The Tourist Levy is a separate fee (IDR 150,000) collected by the provincial government of Bali. You need both. Most first-time travellers don't realise they're separate.
Do children and infants need to pay?
Yes. Every traveller, regardless of age, pays IDR 150,000 individually. Family group payments are processed as separate per-person QR codes through the same portal.
Can I pay the Tourist Levy with an Australian / UK / US card?
The Love Bali portal accepts Visa, Mastercard and major international cards in IDR with currency conversion at your bank's rate. Some banks block Indonesian transactions by default — check with your card issuer or use our agent service to bundle the levy payment with your visa.
What happens if I don't pay the Tourist Levy?
You'll be directed to a manual payment counter at Ngurah Rai before being allowed through Customs. Lines are typically 30–60 minutes during peak season. Paying online before flying is the recommended route.
Is the Tourist Levy refundable if I cancel my trip?
The Tourist Levy itself is non-refundable from the Indonesian provincial government. The QR code is valid for 1 year from issuance, so you can use it on a different trip within that window.
