Can international travelers pay Bali’s visa on arrival and tourist levy in cash at the airport, and which currencies are accepted?

One traveler reported paying the tourist levy quickly at the airport in cash, without completing an online payment beforehand. Bring the exact amount rather than relying on change.

Indonesian rupiah is a practical option for airport payments; a traveler noted that paying cash in IDR works well.

The visa on arrival is reported to cost IDR 500,000 per person, roughly €30 at the airport exchange rate. If using US dollars or euros, bring small notes such as 5 or 10 denominations.

Besides rupiah, a traveler reported that visa payment may be accepted in Chinese yuan and other commonly used Southeast Asian currencies, including Thai baht and Malaysian ringgit.

If you plan to pay in euros, have cash ready in advance and use smaller notes where possible to avoid needing change.
