Bali to introduce £7.50pp tourist levy next week

The new fee, which was proposed last September, will take effect from 14 February. It will apply to all arrivals, including children, and will be collected on a per person per entry basis, meaning island-hoppers could have to pay several times.

While tourists can pay the fee on arrival, the Indonesian government is encouraging people to pay via the Love Bali website or app before embarking on their journey. Those paying electronically in advance of travel will receive a voucher by email, which they can scan at their arrival airport or seaport.
