How to Pay the Bali Tourist Tax: Step-by-Step Guide and Pitfalls

Bali has introduced a mandatory tourist tax, but paying it might not be as straightforward as it seems. We tested the official website, tried different payment methods, and identified potential issues tourists may face.

Step-by-Step Guide to Paying the Tax:

1. Go to the website Love Bali
2. Click "Pay Tourist Levy" (unless you qualify for an exemption).
3. Fill out the form, entering your full name, passport details, arrival date, and email.
4. Choose a payment method:

• Bank transfer (may not work).
• Credit/debit card (Russian cards are not accepted).
• QIRIS (QR code payment via local banks).

1. Wait for confirmation via email (this may take up to 30 minutes).
2. Keep the voucher – it may be checked upon departure.

If online payment fails, you can pay at the airport, accredited hotels, or travel agencies. Our article covers all the details, potential pitfalls, and useful tips to ensure a smooth payment process in Bali.
