From now on, tourists to Bali need to pay tourist tax

According to information from the official website of Bali tourism , the Bali government has started to impose a tourist tax of 150,000 rupiah (about 255 thousand VND) to deal with the phenomenon of overtourism on this famous island.

The Bali government said revenue from the tax will go toward tourism management and preserving Balinese culture, investing in environmental clean-up efforts and disaster management.

At the same time, this fee will help improve service quality, safety and comfort for tourists by developing road - sea - air infrastructure in an integrated and connected direction.

The tax will be applied to foreign tourists coming to Bali. Some of the exemptions include: Diplomatic and official passport holders; aircrew and ship crew; holders of Indonesian Temporary Residence Card (KITAS) or Indonesian Permanent Residence Card (KITAP); holders of family reunification visas, golden visas or student visas; and those with other types of visas other than tourism.

Bali authorities advise tourists to pay this tax before arriving in Bali through the official Bali tourism website: https://lovebali.baliprov.go.id or through the LoveBali smart application.
