What to budget
The levy is a Bali provincial charge, separate from Indonesia’s visa and arrival declaration. For two travellers who each owe it, allow IDR300,000. This is rupiah, not a fixed Australian-dollar amount: your payment provider’s conversion and fees determine the AUD charge.
Do not treat a family or room booking as a single-person levy. Enter the traveller information requested by the official service and keep each relevant confirmation.
Pay through Love Bali
The official site is lovebali.baliprov.go.id. Smartraveller says cashless payment is available online before travel and at designated airport and seaport counters. Paying before departure makes it easier to keep the receipt with the rest of your documents.
Retain the confirmation and any QR voucher supplied by the service. If payment appears to fail, inspect the transaction and confirmation status before paying again. AustraliaBali does not collect the levy or handle payment disputes.
If an exemption may apply
Some immigration or travel categories can have different treatment. An Australian holiday traveller should not assume an exemption merely because a visa has already been paid for. Use Love Bali’s exemption process for the exact category and retain its approval before relying on it.
This guide does not promise that a previous visit’s voucher, a pending application or an informal assurance from a hotel is sufficient for a later arrival. Read the terms attached to the current official payment or exemption.
