Do I need to pay a separate tourist tax when entering Bali (in addition to visa on arrival)?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago
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.

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.

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

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