Do I need to pay a separate tourist tax when entering Bali (in addition to visa on arrival)?

TL;DR

Yes, Bali's tourist tax (Bali Levy) is separate from the $35 visa on arrival — it costs 150,000 IDR (~$10) and is paid online at lovebali.baliprov.go.id. You also need to fill out a free customs declaration before landing.

What the community said

According to one discussion participant, the Bali tourist tax is actually voluntary, not mandatory, unlike the visa and customs declaration.

Tourist tax — voluntary

The online customs declaration should be submitted in advance, three days before departure (can be done while still in Moscow), rather than right before boarding.

Declaration — 3 days before flight

Visa on arrival costs around $30, and separately you must fill out an online customs declaration beforehand — it's free but mandatory before landing.

Visa ~$30 + free customs declaration

The tourist tax is paid through the site lovebali.baliprov.go.id — after payment you get a QR code that's checked upon arrival.

The Bali tourist tax is a separate island-specific fee not covered by the visa, even if the visa was already processed in Jakarta.
