Bali tourist levy and arrival in 2026: Rp 150,000 levy, All Indonesia form, customs and entry rules

This guide is for visitors, expats and long-stay travellers flying into Bali. Three things now shape the arrival: the provincial tourist levy of Rp 150,000 per person, the All Indonesia online form that replaced the paper arrival and customs cards in 2025, and Indonesian customs and immigration rules. The levy law was amended in 2025, collection drives continued through 2026, and an October 2026 immigration release said the e-visa platform takes credit cards directly. Rules, fees and local practice change often, so confirm the details with the authority named in each section or with a licensed professional. Nothing here is legal advice.

The Bali tourist levy

Amount and legal basis

The official Love Bali site states the levy at Rp 150,000 per foreign tourist. An Antara report of 9 October 2026 gives the same figure and says it has applied since 14 February 2024. The levy is paid once per trip. The legal basis listed by the provincial government is:

• Law 15 of 2023 on Bali Province.
• Provincial Regulation 6 of 2023 on the foreign tourist levy, amended by Provincial Regulation 2 of 2025.
• Governor Regulation 2 of 2024 on payment procedures, amended by Governor Regulation 25 of 2025.
• Governor Decree 699/03-L/HK/2025 on technical guidelines.

Who is exempt

The official exemption notice lists the following groups:

Group	How the exemption works
Holders of diplomatic and official visas	Automatic, no application
Crew of conveyances	Automatic
Holders of a KITAS (temporary stay permit card) or KITAP (permanent stay permit card)	Automatic; showing the card to the officer is enough
Family unification visa holders	Automatic
Student visa holders	Automatic
Golden visa holders	Apply in the Love Bali app and wait for approval
Holders of other visa types issued by Immigration, excluding those meant for tourist destinations	Apply in the Love Bali app and wait for approval

The exemption list excludes visas meant for tourist destinations, so a visa on arrival or a tourist e-visa does not exempt the holder. The notices opened for this guide do not mention children, transit passengers or age limits, so check with Love Bali before assuming a child is exempt. Cruise passengers do pay the levy, either individually or as a group through a registered cruise agent.

How to pay

1. Open the Love Bali website or app, or pay at a counter at the airport or a seaport. Payment must be cashless.
2. Enter first name, last name, email, passport number, country and arrival date.
3. Choose a payment method. Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB), UnionPay, bank transfer, virtual account and QRIS are listed. Bank fees may apply, and the exchange rate shown on the payment page is the one used.
4. A levy voucher with a QR code is emailed to the address entered, so the address must be valid and active. Someone else can pay on your behalf.
5. Keep the voucher or your passport ready for scanning at checkpoints. The sample voucher in the official how-to-pay guide is marked non-refundable.

Paying online before departure is strongly encouraged. Registered collection points in Bali, such as some hotels, travel agents and attractions, can also take payment. The Bali Tourism Office said in September 2026 that about 150 collection points are registered and 65 are active, and that collectors receive a 3% incentive. If a payment seems to have gone through twice, the system asks whether you were already charged before creating a new transaction.

Proof, checks and what happens if you do not pay

The official how-to-pay guide says the voucher or passport is scanned at available checkpoints. In April 2025 Bali Sun reported spot checks by Bali Tourism Office officers at Uluwatu Temple and Tanah Lot on some days. The governor's circular of March 2025 says tourists who have not paid can be barred from attractions.

The official consequences notice lists a travel restriction on visiting Bali plus administrative sanctions: a verbal reprimand recorded in the Love Bali app and a formal written reprimand. No fine for the levy itself is listed. In his address of 21 September 2026 the governor still listed sanctions that could not yet be enforced among the obstacles to collection. Treat the levy as mandatory and expect enforcement to vary.

Reported compliance has been partial. About 32 to 33% of foreign visitors paid in 2024 (Rp 318 billion). In 2025 it was roughly 35% (Rp 369 billion). From 1 to 20 September 2026, 43% paid, with Rp 289 billion collected. Officials have asked airlines, consulates and online travel agents for help, and Bali has proposed linking the levy to the national All Indonesia system. That link was a proposal when last reported.

What the money is for

The official notice says the levy supports protecting Balinese culture, traditions, arts and natural environment, and better tourism service and management. The Bali Tourism Office described the use in September 2026 as cultural and natural protection, support for about 1,500 traditional villages (desa adat), and destination, industry and promotion work. No source opened gave a percentage split.

The All Indonesia arrival card and customs declaration

What it is

All Indonesia is the Immigration Directorate's website and app for arrivals. It combines the immigration arrival card, the customs declaration, and the health and quarantine declarations in one form. It became mandatory for international air passengers from 1 September 2025 at Ngurah Rai, Soekarno-Hatta, Juanda and Batam, and the rollout widened to all international airports, seaports and border crossings from October 2025. A pilot at the Entikong land crossing was reported in July 2026. Foreigners and Indonesian citizens on international flights both use it. For air and sea arrivals it replaced the separate electronic customs declaration (e-CD).

The form is free. Use the official All Indonesia website or app. The UK government warns against sites that ask for payment.

When to fill it in

Immigration says travellers can submit it up to 3 days before arrival, or on landing. The UK government describes it as to be completed within 72 hours of arrival. Doing it before the flight avoids queues. At Ngurah Rai, 10 computers were set up before immigration in 2025 for people who have not done it, with officers helping foreign visitors.

What you are asked

• Citizenship and personal data matching your passport, passport number, flight details and arrival date.
• Your address and destination in Indonesia. If you stay at several places, Bali Sun suggested entering the first one.
• A health declaration, including travel history for the past 21 days and your current condition.
• Quarantine items such as animals, fish, plants or their products.
• A customs declaration: number of bags, large cash amounts, excisable goods above the limit, and devices that need IMEI registration.

After you submit, the system gives a QR code. Show it to immigration, quarantine and customs officers, who scan it. Save it offline in case the signal is poor. None of the sources opened state a penalty for skipping the form.

Customs allowances and declarations

Duty-free allowance

Customs states that personal goods up to a FOB value of USD 500 per person are exempt from import duty. The allowance is counted per passenger, so a family of four has USD 2,000 in total. A 2025 Finance Ministry regulation (PMK 34 of 2025), as reported by Antara in June 2025, widened this relief to cover VAT and income tax on those goods, and charges 10% duty on the part above USD 500. The older customs FAQ describes VAT at 11% and income tax on the excess instead. Check the current charge with customs if you carry high-value goods.

Alcohol and tobacco

Item	Limit for adult passengers
Cigarettes, cigars or cut tobacco	Up to 200 cigarettes, 25 cigars or 100 grams of cut tobacco, as worded by customs
Alcoholic drinks	1 litre

Customs says excess amounts are destroyed by officers. No age is given for "adult". No separate allowance for perfume was found in the sources opened, so ask customs if you carry a lot of it.

Cash

Cash and payment instruments such as cheques and travellers cheques worth Rp 100,000,000 or more, in rupiah or foreign currency, must be declared to customs on entry or exit. Foreign banknotes worth Rp 1,000,000,000 or more fall under a separate threshold that involves Bank Indonesia, so ask customs before carrying that much. Failing to declare can bring administrative sanctions. In a June 2026 case at Soekarno-Hatta, a traveller with USD 350,000 undeclared was held and referred to the financial intelligence unit, and the combined customs and Bank Indonesia fines were reported as capped at Rp 600,000,000.

For land crossings, or for leaving Indonesia with cash, customs directs travellers to its e-CD form, available from 3 days before travel.

Phones and laptops

A phone, tablet or portable computer brought in for permanent use in Indonesia must have its IMEI registered through the customs section of All Indonesia, so that it works with an Indonesian SIM card. Customs gives no age or stay-length exemption in the passage opened.

Prohibited and restricted items

Customs says some goods are banned or restricted and refers to its list of restricted goods (LARTAS). The page that lists them could not be read for this guide, so drones, e-cigarettes, firearms, certain electronics, food, plants and animals should be checked with customs before packing. Medicines are also a restricted area. The UK government notes that the legal status of some prescription medicines differs between countries. Carrying original packaging and a doctor's letter is common practice, but confirm with customs.

Drugs are the one area where the rules are not negotiable. The UK government says possession, use or trafficking can bring long prison terms or the death penalty, and that cannabis in any form, including medicinal cannabis, CBD, THC and edibles, is illegal. Recent Bali cases show how it plays out:

• September 2026: a Denpasar court sentenced two women to 7 years each and a fine of Rp 100,000,000 for about 308 g of hashish found in their clothing at the Ngurah Rai arrivals terminal after X-ray screening.
• August 2026: prosecutors asked for 18 months for a woman charged with personal-use cannabis offences after customs found about 36.7 g of dried plant matter. She had not listed it on her customs declaration form.

Entering Indonesia

Passport, visa and return ticket

• Passport: valid for at least 6 months from arrival, with at least 2 blank pages (UK government).
• Visa on arrival: Rp 500,000 for 30 days, single entry, payable by cash or card. It requires proof of a return or onward journey. It can be extended once for a further 30 days at an immigration office, according to a Wikipedia summary of the rules. Extend within the first 30 days to avoid overstay fines.
• E-visa: applied for online, with options including multiple entry and 60 days. The UK government advises applying at least one week before you travel and confirming approval before arrival. An immigration press release of 12 October 2026 says the e-visa platform accepts credit cards directly, without an agent or guarantor.
• Not for work: a visa on arrival is not for volunteering, influencer work or commercial content.
• Overstay: Rp 1,000,000 per day, and possible detention and deportation at your own cost.
• Private accommodation: if you stay in a villa or private rental, register with local police. The fine for not registering is Rp 5,000,000. Hotels register guests automatically.
• Yellow fever: a certificate is needed if you arrive from a country at risk.

What to expect at the airport

Arrivals normally pass immigration first, then baggage and customs. Show the All Indonesia QR code at immigration and again at customs. Immigration reported 298 autogate units operating at main checkpoints in October 2026. Whether they are open to first-time foreign visitors was not confirmed, so follow the signs. Keep the levy voucher email available, because the official guide says checkpoints may scan it.

Health pass

The SATUSEHAT Health Pass was introduced on 29 August 2024 as a form for international arrivals, aimed at detecting mpox. In September 2025, Bali Sun reported that visitors to Bali no longer need the SatuSehat app, because the health declaration now sits inside All Indonesia. No source opened shows a separate pass in force in 2026. Check with the health authority if you hear otherwise.

Departure

• Pay the levy before leaving Indonesia if you have not done so. The official FAQ says it is paid once per trip.
• Declare cash of Rp 100,000,000 or more when leaving, using the e-CD form.
• Avoid overstays, which are fined per day. Immigration officers check departing passengers, and in September 2026 immigration reported stopping a departing foreigner who held two passports.
• No separate departure form was described in the sources opened.

Where to get it done

• The levy counter at Ngurah Rai airport or at a seaport, or the Love Bali website and app, for the tourist levy and exemption applications.
• The immigration counter at the airport, or the immigration office, for visa on arrival, extensions and stay permit questions.
• The customs help desk at the arrivals hall, or the customs office at the airport, for allowances, restricted goods and cash declarations.
• A doctor, for a prescription and letter before travelling with medicine.
• The Indonesian embassy or consulate in your home country, for visa and entry questions.
• A hotel, travel agent or attraction listed as a levy collection point, for help paying in Bali.
