Bali Tourist Tax 2025: What Visitors & Event Planners Need to Know

Bali, the Island of the Gods, remains one of the world’s most beloved travel and event destinations. As part of its commitment to sustainable tourism, the Bali Provincial Government has implemented a Bali Tourist Tax effective from 14 February 2024. Whether you’re planning a vacation or organizing a destination event, understanding this new regulation is essential.

What is the Bali Tourist Tax?

The Bali Tourist Tax, officially known as the Tourism Levy for Foreign Tourists, is a one-time IDR 150,000 (approximately USD 10) fee imposed on all international visitors entering Bali. The goal? To preserve Bali's unique culture, natural beauty, and heritage.

Why Was It Introduced?

With millions of tourists visiting Bali every year, the island faces increasing pressure on its environment and cultural landmarks. The tax is designed to support:

• Cultural preservation

• Environmental protection

• Community-based tourism initiatives

• Waste management and infrastructure upgrades

It’s a small contribution that makes a big difference.

How to Pay the Bali Tourist Tax

There are several convenient options for travelers to pay this fee:

1. Online via the Love Bali Website or App (recommended for faster clearance)

2. At the airport upon arrival (may result in longer queues)

After payment, travelers receive a digital receipt (QR code) which must be shown at checkpoints.

Does It Affect Events & Corporate Visitors?

Absolutely. If you’re flying in guests, speakers, or clients from overseas, the tax applies to them too.

That’s where Groovy EO comes in.
