Sebarindo Hotel – Foreign visitors to Bali pay a provincial levy of IDR 150,000 each time they enter the island. Hotel bills can add a separate local tax of up to 10%, and that tax is often not in the headline room rate.
This guide is for foreign tourists, not Indonesian citizens. It is based on the Bali provincial regulation and Indonesian national tax law, checked on October 25, 2026.
The IDR 150,000 Levy in Brief
Bali’s foreign tourist levy is set by Bali Provincial Regulation No. 6 of 2023. The regulation took effect on February 14, 2024, and sets the amount at IDR 150,000.
It applies to foreign tourists traveling in Bali. That includes people who fly in from abroad and people who arrive from another part of Indonesia.
What this means for you: a family of four pays IDR 600,000 in levies for one trip (our estimate).
When and How to Pay
The regulation says the levy is paid before or at the moment of arrival at Bali’s arrival gate. Payment must be electronic, and proof of payment is a barcode or an official provincial mark.
The provincial government runs the official Love Bali platform for this. Pay only through official provincial channels, and avoid lookalike websites that charge extra “service” fees.
The regulation also says tourists who cannot show proof of payment must pay. Keep the payment barcode on your phone and a screenshot in case the signal drops.
Once Per Entry, Not Per Night
The levy is charged on each entry to Bali. Once paid, it is valid for that stay until you leave Indonesia, according to the regulation.
Say you visit Bali, fly to Lombok, then return to Bali without leaving Indonesia. Check the official Love Bali guidance for your exact route, since the rule is tied to entry and to leaving the country.
The Hotel Tax on Your Bill
Hotels in Indonesia charge a regional tax on accommodation, known as PBJT for hotel services. National law, Law No. 1 of 2022, caps this tax at 10% at most.
Each regency or city sets its own rate by regional regulation, within that cap. Your hotel bill shows the rate that applies to that property.
Reading a “++” Rate
Bali hotels often quote rates with “++”. That means tax and a service charge are added on top. A “nett” rate already includes them.
The service charge is set by the hotel, not by law, so the total varies. Say a room is IDR 1,000,000 ++, with 10% tax and a hotel’s 11% service charge. A combined 21% would bring it to IDR 1,210,000 (our estimate, using example rates).
Ask the hotel for the final nightly amount in writing if the booking page does not show it.
Rules That May Change
The province has discussed amending the levy regulation since 2024, including how collection works and possible sanctions. As of October 25, 2026, check the Love Bali site for the current rules before you fly.
Treat social media posts about new amounts or new exemptions as unconfirmed until the provincial government publishes them.
If You Are Asked to Pay Again
Show your payment barcode first. If staff still ask for payment, ask which official channel they are using and request an official receipt.
Never pay cash to an individual who approaches you outside official counters. Real collection uses electronic payment, according to the regulation.
Before you fly, pay the levy through the official channel and save the barcode next to your passport scan.
Room rates, taxes, check-in times and hotel policies change often. Confirm the details on the hotel’s official website or in your booking confirmation before you pay.
