Travelling to Indonesia

Bali tourist levy. If you visit Bali, you pay a tourist levy of IDR 150,000 once per trip, on top of your visa. It applies even if you fly in from elsewhere in Indonesia. Pay by card on the official Love Bali site before you go, or at counters at Bali's airport and ports. Cash isn't accepted.

Use only the official sites. Use evisa.imigrasi.go.id for your visa, allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id for the free arrival card and lovebali.baliprov.go.id for the Bali levy. Fake sites and visa agents charge extra, and some travellers have lost money or overstayed after using them.

Overstaying costs IDR 1,000,000 a day. If you stay past the date you're allowed, you pay IDR 1,000,000 for each extra day, and you can be detained, deported or banned from coming back. Extend before your 30 days run out.

No work or paid content. The visa on arrival is for holidays, visiting people and business meetings. You can't work, sell goods or services, or be paid by anyone in Indonesia. GOV.UK says it doesn't cover volunteering, influencer work or paid online content.
