retribusi levy
The Bali tourist tax is a levy of IDR 150,000 (about AUD 12, USD 8.2 or GBP 6.2) that every foreign tourist pays to the Bali Provincial Government, cashless, through Love Bali. A trip on to Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia, or to Lembongan and Ceningan, adds Klungkung Regency's island levy of IDR 25,000 per foreign adult and, since 1 September 2026, IDR 25,000 per adult at each one-gate attraction. A day snorkelling or diving in the marine park adds Bali Province's ticket of IDR 100,000. Enter your group below for the total.

retribusi levy
Bali Provincial Regulation No. 2 of 2025, Article 5(2), sets the foreign tourist levy at IDR 150,000 (about AUD 12, USD 8.2 or GBP 6.2), paid cashless by electronic payment. That regulation amends the 2023 levy regulation and came into force on 1 July 2025. The levy itself took effect on 14 February 2024, the Love Bali government notice states. The Love Bali FAQ names its legal basis as Law No. 15 of 2023 on Bali Province, then Bali Provincial Regulation No. 6 of 2023 as amended by Regulation No. 2 of 2025, with Governor Regulation No. 25 of 2025 and Governor Decree No. 699/03-L/HK/2025, the technical guidelines, beneath them.
Australian and British advice gives the same amount. Smartraveller, in advice updated 21 October 2026, states foreign tourists entering Bali pay IDR 150,000 per person, separate from the e-VOA or VOA. The UK FCDO states the levy of 150,000 rupiah applies to all foreign tourists arriving in Bali and can be paid online or on arrival.
The regulation defines the levy payer as any individual from outside Indonesia, without Indonesian citizenship, who is touring in Bali. It names no age limit, and none of its exempt groups is an age group, so the counter charges it for children and infants too. The FAQ adds that the levy applies to cruise passengers.
Article 4A(2) lists 7 exempt groups of foreigners: transport crew, KITAS and KITAP holders, diplomatic and official visa holders, family unification visa holders, student visa holders, golden visa holders and holders of other visa types. The Love Bali exemption notice splits them in two:
Diplomatic and official visas, transport crew, KITAS and KITAP, family unification and student visas: exemption is automatic.
Golden visas and other non-tourist visas: application required through Love Bali, at least 5 days before arrival at Bali's gates, the Love Bali terms state. Otherwise the levy applies.
A tourist visa, an e-VOA, a visa on arrival or visa-free entry is not on the list, so most holiday travellers pay.
perahu boat
The two official texts read differently, and the counter shows both when they part. Bali Provincial Regulation No. 2 of 2025, Article 4A(1), requires foreign tourists to pay the levy on each entry to Bali, whether directly from abroad or via other parts of Indonesia. The Love Bali FAQ states the levy is paid only once while travelling in Bali, before the person leaves Indonesia.
For a plain return trip, fly into Bali and fly home, both give the same figure. They part when you leave Bali for another island outside the province, such as Lombok, and come back. The Nusa islands are a different case: Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan are part of Klungkung Regency in Bali, so a boat from Sanur does not leave Bali. Nusa Penida and the regency's fees are not mentioned in the provincial levy sources, which neither include nor exclude one.
If you pay twice for the same arrival date by mistake, Bali Governor Regulation No. 25 of 2025, Article 15A, provides a refund for duplicate payment. Other payments are non-refundable, the Love Bali terms state.
harga price
The Love Bali FAQ lists three ways to pay: online on the official payment site, lovebali.baliprov.go.id, before arrival; at payment counters at Bali's airport and port; or during the stay through registered endpoints such as hotels, travel agents and tourist attractions. Governor Regulation No. 25 of 2025, Article 12, adds that a levy not paid before entering Bali is paid on arrival, during stay or on departure.
Someone else can pay for you: the Love Bali payment guide states that paying on a traveller's behalf is allowed. Registered endpoints such as cruise agents can pay for up to 500 travellers per group payment with a spreadsheet template. Under Article 22A, collecting partners and endpoints may keep a fee of at most 3% of what they collect. Love Bali's WhatsApp support line is +62 821 5758 6600.
The revenue funds the protection of Balinese culture and the natural environment, better tourism services and the running of the levy, Article 7(2) states.
pulau island
The levy for the islands is set by Klungkung Regency, not the province. Its tourism office states the Nusa Penida Tourism Levy (Retribusi Kawasan) is IDR 25,000 for a foreign adult (about AUD 2, USD 1.4 or GBP 1) and IDR 15,000 for a foreign child (about AUD 1.2, USD 0.8 or GBP 0.6). It applies to foreign visitors only and is paid once on entry into the Nusa Penida area, so a week on Nusa Penida pays it once, like a day trip.
The levy poster the regency published with Easybook in its post of 19 February 2026, under Regulation No. 8 of 2023, states infants aged 0 to 3 years are free, holders of a Bali ID card pay nothing (free with Bali ID), and one ticket covers Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan. The regency's later Regulation No. 4 of 2026 lists Nusa Lembongan-Ceningan as a levy area of its own, separate from Nusa Penida, with no amount for it in the published text. Until the regency publishes one, the counter follows the poster and charges one island levy for all three islands; ask at the Easybook check if your stay crosses from Lembongan to Penida.
The tourism office states that from 21 February 2026 every visitor to Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan buys the levy ticket online at easybook.com, the regency's official ticket site, and that Easybook staff check tickets on site. The e-ticketing runs under a cooperation agreement with PT Easybook Teknologi Indonesia. The office lists klungkungtourism.id and Instagram @klungkung_tourism as its information channels for the levy.

pelabuhan harbour
Budget the regency levy on top of the ticket. Maruti Express states the island levy is not included in its boat fare and must be bought separately. Read what each boat listing includes before you compare prices. The two tickets beside this text are on different routes, one to Nusa Penida and one to Nusa Lembongan, and each shows its cheapest option on the day it was read, so they sit below the operators' own one-way fares of around IDR 200,000. The fast boat to Nusa Penida and Sanur to Nusa Lembongan pages compare the operators, ports and crossing times.
A tour bundles more: boat, driver and often the gate fees in one listed price. The Nusa Penida day trip page sets a tour against doing it yourself, and the Lembongan day trip does the same for the smaller island.

wisata touring
On top of the island levy, Klungkung Regency charges a Tourist Attraction Levy (Retribusi Daya Tarik Wisata) of IDR 25,000 per adult (about AUD 2, USD 1.4 or GBP 1) and IDR 15,000 per child (about AUD 1.2, USD 0.8 or GBP 0.6) at each attraction you visit. Unlike the island levy, it applies to all visitors, foreign and domestic.
The regency's Regulation No. 4 of 2026 lists 17 "one gate one destination" attractions on Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan that charge it. The regulation entered into force on 1 August 2026 and applies its recreation levy 1 month later, from 1 September 2026; the tourism office's poster of 4 August 2026 had announced an earlier start. bali.live reported the fee system began on 1 September 2026.
A west coast day with Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach and Angel's Billabong passes several gates; each sight's page says where its levy point sits, starting with Kelingking Beach. The things to do on Nusa Penida page marks which stops are on the regency's list. The regulation's notes describe most visits to Nusa Penida as a "One Day Trip", so for most people this is one island levy and a handful of gates.

pelabuhan harbour
Buyuk, on the north-east coast, is one of the island's harbours. The regency levy is paid once on arrival, whichever harbour you land at.
menyelam diving
The sea around the three islands is a provincial marine conservation area, and Bali Province charges for entering it. Bali Provincial Regulation No. 1 of 2024, Annex III, sets the daily ticket for a foreign tourist at IDR 100,000 per person per day (about AUD 8, USD 5.5 or GBP 4.1) and for a domestic tourist at IDR 10,000 (about AUD 0.8, USD 0.5 or GBP 0.4). The regulation lists no separate child rate.
Some snorkel and dive trips include the ticket in their price; ask before you book. The pages on snorkelling at Nusa Penida, Manta Point and diving cover the trips, reefs and seasons.

pengadilan court
Bali Provincial Regulation No. 2 of 2025 states that a foreign tourist who cannot show proof of payment is required to pay it there and then (Article 6). Article 16A sets administrative sanctions: verbal reprimand, written reprimand, refusal at attractions. The Love Bali consequences notice states that those who do not pay will be restricted from visiting Bali and may receive a verbal or written reprimand.
The governor's Circular No. 7 of 2025 repeats the point for sights: the Bali Provincial Government states that foreign tourists who have not paid may be refused service at tourist attractions (no service at attractions). The same release gives WhatsApp Siaga 081-287-590-999 as the line for reporting tourist violations of that circular.
For the regency levy, the tourism office reported in July 2026 coordinating levy supervision at Banjar Nyuh with the customary village head and the pecalang, the village guards. Carry the Easybook ticket on your phone. For what the travel advisories say about the islands beyond money, see whether Nusa Penida is safe.
pertanyaan questions
The Bali regulation defines the payer as any individual from outside Indonesia touring in Bali and lists no age group among its exempt groups, so the provincial levy applies to children too. Klungkung Regency's island levy has a child rate of IDR 15,000, and its poster published with Easybook in February 2026, under the old regulation, states infants aged 0 to 3 years are free. The regency states no age limit for its child rate; ask at the Easybook check.
No. Smartraveller states the Bali levy of IDR 150,000 per person is separate from the e-VOA or VOA. You pay it on Love Bali before arrival, at counters at Bali's airport and port, or during the stay through registered hotels, travel agents and attractions, by card, transfer or QRIS.
No provincial levy is due again: Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan are in Klungkung Regency, Bali, and the provincial sources do not mention a separate charge. The islands have their own regency levy of IDR 25,000 per foreign adult, paid once on entry, plus the attraction levy at each one-gate sight.
Klungkung Regency's island levy is IDR 25,000 per foreign adult and IDR 15,000 per foreign child, once on entry, bought online at easybook.com. Each of the 17 one-gate attractions charges IDR 25,000 per adult and IDR 15,000 per child on top. Boat fares do not include the island levy.
No. The Love Bali terms state levy payments are accepted only by non-cash methods, and the regulation sets the levy as paid by electronic payment. The FAQ lists Visa, Mastercard, American Express and JCB cards, bank transfer, virtual account, UnionPay and QRIS. The proof is a voucher with a QR code sent by email.
The Nusa Penida guide starts with the tours and the spots they cover; the levies also sit in the site's open data register.
