Love Bali levy: what it is

The Love Bali levy is the tourist fee that international visitors pay when they travel to Bali. The amount is Rp 150,000 per person, set by the Bali provincial government ^[1]. It is a separate payment from your flight, hotel and the arrival form.

Why does the levy exist?

The money supports the protection of Bali’s culture and natural environment, and the levy is set out in a provincial regulation ^[5]. For a visitor, it works like an entry contribution that sits outside the airfare.

How do Malaysians pay it?

Payment is cashless. You can pay through the Love Bali system before you arrive, at payment counters at the airport and ports, or at registered endpoints in Bali ^[2]. Accepted methods include credit cards, bank transfer, Virtual Account and QRIS, the Indonesian QR payment standard ^[2].

Paying before you fly is the calmer option, because the queue at the airport counter is one less thing to manage with tired children. Type the official Love Bali address yourself rather than following a search advert.

What is the QR voucher?

After you pay, a levy voucher with a QR code is emailed to the address you entered ^[3]. Save a screenshot on your phone and keep it for the whole stay. Use an email address you can open on the trip.

Do you pay once or every time you enter?

The levy is paid once during your trip in Bali, and holders of some visas and permits are exempt ^[4]. A normal holiday visit does not count as an exemption, so budget for it for every traveller, children included.
