🛬 Can I Pay the Tourist Tax on Arrival at Bali Airport?

Yes, but not recommended.

While there is a payment counter at Bali Airport, they only accept Indonesian Rupiah. If you don’t have local currency:

• You’ll need to exchange it at the airport (often at high exchange rates)
• You may end up paying more than ₹77 or $10

💡 Best Option: Pay online 1 day before your trip — hassle-free and cheaper.

❓ Bali Tourist Levy Rules & FAQs

Is this tax required for Jakarta or Batam?

No. The tourist tax applies only when entering Bali.
You don’t need to pay it if you’re visiting Jakarta, Batam, Surabaya, etc., without entering Bali.

Do I pay again if I re-enter Bali within 30 days?

No. The tax is valid for 30 days from your entry. You can travel to other parts of Indonesia and return to Bali during this time without paying again.

But if you leave Indonesia and return to Bali later, you’ll need to pay again.
