@@tomsmum2003 i also go to reception to make requests.

Hi . Gary. Ure going going good with info for lots of people.. thanks was in Baki. Feb. For 2 weeks been many many times. U think ? Bali? Has lost. Some tourist BC of visa n. New tourism tax, ?
100% Bali has lost tourists, it is nowhere near as touristy anymore in many areas of Bali except canggu. I don't voice my opinion and say what are my true feelings regarding what is happening here in Bali as I do not wish to be a drama channel like many others posting click bate titles to get views and make money. I love Bali, it's being my home for 12 years and I would never post anything negative or controversial just to start a debate to get many comments and views, I concentrate on providing accurate, honest content to try and help tourists and to promote businesses by awareness.
Just found this on a "Bali Beach Club Website": So, according to Balinese officials, things haven’t been quite as successful as first announced. Only 40% of visitors have paid the tax and that means there will now be spot checks put in place at tourist sites to ensure that you have paid. Visitors will now be expected to demonstrate that they have paid the tax or be asked to pay it on the spot. Interestingly, there is no penalty to be applied, for now, for those caught not having paid.
Thanks for his video. But I have a stupid question Gary! What happens of you didn’t do it online & also missed the stall & didn’t pay the tourist tax? How do they validate your payment & what are the consequences of not paying it!
Hello..i have my flight on 10th june and reaching Bali on 11th june so what date should i put under arrival date for tourist levy? And can i pay by debit card?
Best to purchase tourist tax online before your arrival as the tourist counter is only there for information purposes. If you arrive in bali on the 11th then put the 11th also best to do your customs declaration card online before arrival.
From the video it looks like you could walk right past it and nobody would be the wiser! (as you said, you are already out of the terminal by that point) Cheers!
I tried to pay online the payment was deducted from my credit card but I never received any qr code on my email and the payment gateway page throwed an error. My flight is next week, I just wanna confirm if this tax is mandatory? Are they strictly checking this?
@@LA-hd6yr i cannot answer if anybody is checking tourist tax payment or not. They have the tourist tax counter inside the arrivals hall you can ask their.
@@balibygary9718 okay then, I’ll see if I can make it to the exit without paying it otherwise if I’ll be stopped by someone I’ll pay it at the counter. Thanks!
No I don't think so. It's a very strange system. They have the counter inside the arrivals hall where nobody really speaks english just to tell you to pay the tax online. I came through immigration on 29th April nobody asked anything .
Hi Gary you are a star, always follow you, enjoy watching your videos, please could tell can I hire a motor bike with driver In Bali just for sightseeing, for traffic a motor bike is easier, I'm not talking about gojac, just wanted to hire for 5/6 hours with someone, As I do not have a licence?
Yes many people ask around the streets where you stay for motorbike with driver, gojek & grab drivers will also sometimes do that as a private fixed price job without using the app. Many of the tour booking agents can usually organise motorbike and driver also. Which area are you staying?
Maybe not😁. I don't know what happens if you don't pay it and who is checking it. Either everyone is paying it online before arrival or nobody is paying it because I did not see anyone go to the tax desk in all the time I was at the airport.
It's easy to do on the Love Bali app and everyone should support the country even if it's not currently being enforced it was like less than £10 for me which is nothing really, roll on weekend as il be going to BALI for 2 weeks 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Still have to pay visa on arrival £30 and then use a computer to generate qr code for immigration, has to be a quicker way to do things, should just put the visa, QR code for immigration and the levy all on the same QR code keeps it all in one place
My gosh. No wonder so many people are saying they don’t see it!
Thank you for showing us. I’ll be in sanur in June.
Yes it is a little hidden and a dark structure with no signs directing tourists to it. SECRET TAX😂
Thanks Gary, this helped so much to know where it was to pay. We found it straight away and no line to pay, took 2 minutes 😊
Thanks heaps Gary!! Great informative video again, much appreciated 😊
You're so welcome😃
Hi Garry you are doing great, as for the tourist tax it is so easy to do online and get it out of the way
I presume that is what most people are doing as nobody visited this counter during my filming at the airport
@@balibygary9718 I totally missed it at the airport so used the QR code and I ? paid online. Does anyone know if it takes a while to come off your credit card as nothing off yet and no email.
Another great Vlog Gary cheers
I missed this in yesterdays video people were asking about it so went back this morning to capture the tourist tax counter🙂
Thanks Gary. Really informative to know exactly what to look for.
I think most people would just walk past this as it is not highlighted what this booth really is.
Thank you 🙏 Gary great job
Many thanks🙂
Hi Gary . Can you show the hotel call The Pavilions in sanur if you have a chance?
Asked a few times there they never get back to me.
Your too polite Gary. Other youtubers just turn up on ask at reception 😊
@@tomsmum2003 i also go to reception to make requests.

Thanks Gary..your a legend 👍🙏
Many thanks, I wish I would have known about the tourist tax stand to include in my airport video. It's so hidden and like a secret place😂.
Thank you for that info Gary…..I shall try and pay the tourist tax online but if there’s any problems doing that I’ll now know where they are located.
I hope they scrap it soon as it seems quite a hassle for people to have to think about this.
Hi... Gary, what provider do you use a sim card for?... quite a lot of tourists come to Bali.
XL & Telkomsel.
Thank you Gary, much obliged.
You're so welcome, i wish i would have spotted it for the airport video🙂

Great bro
Many thanks😀
Much appreciated
You're welcome🙂
Do you still have to prove proof of 2 Covid injections for entry?
Cheers
Not needed
You are already out of the terminal at that point... looks like you could walk right by and not pay? Is it checked anywhere? Cheers!
@@brianfeeley6140 yes the counter is a little hidden and does not really stand out. I don't know if anyone is checking

Hi Gary I want to know about customs declaration?
You can do that online now and you recieve a bar code to scan as you pass through customs. I think you can also still do at the airport upon arrival.
Thanks!
we went to thailand. never looked back
Yes it's a beautiful country, I have visited over 40 times myself😁
Thanks for his video. But I have a stupid question Gary! What happens of you didn’t do it online & also missed the stall & didn’t pay the tourist tax? How do they validate your payment & what are the consequences of not paying it!
I cannot answer this question sorry, I have no idea what will happen if you do not pay it
Can you pay tourist tax on line before entering bali
@@jatinkumardesai583 yes this is the best option
Hey Gary, I will be arriving in the middle of the night, will the sim card shops be open then?
Yes open until 03:00am

Is it mandatory to pay tourist tax. As it’s outside immigration, we can skip the tourist tax?
I think it is mandatory. I am not 100% sure on this. You can pay online or at the airport.
From the video it looks like you could walk right past it and nobody would be the wiser! (as you said, you are already out of the terminal by that point) Cheers!

Seems odd that the tourist has to figure out they need to pay a tax ? and where\how to pay . What happens if the tourist isn’t aware of it ?
I can't answer that question🙂
will they ask for proof of tax payment at immigration ?
No I don't think so. It's a very strange system. They have the counter inside the arrivals hall where nobody really speaks english just to tell you to pay the tax online. I came through immigration on 29th April nobody asked anything .
150000 is for 1 person? You you please clarify? I'll be traveling with my wife and daughter. Thank you.
@@pravaal76 yes 150,000 per person it's best to purchase online before arrival to Bali.
Hi, so the tourism tax has to be paid outside the airport ?
You can pay online prior to your arrival or at the counter in the arrivals hall as shown in the video.
Hi Gary you are a star, always follow you, enjoy watching your videos, please could tell can I hire a motor bike with driver
In Bali just for sightseeing, for traffic a motor bike is easier, I'm not talking about gojac, just wanted to hire for 5/6 hours
with someone, As I do not have a licence?
Yes many people ask around the streets where you stay for motorbike with driver, gojek & grab drivers will also sometimes do that as a private fixed price job without using the app. Many of the tour booking agents can usually organise motorbike and driver also. Which area are you staying?
@@balibygary9718 ,thank you so much for quick reply, I will be staying at bintang kuta Hotel, JL kartika
Hi Gary I don’t think a lot of people are paying the new tax
Maybe not😁. I don't know what happens if you don't pay it and who is checking it. Either everyone is paying it online before arrival or nobody is paying it because I did not see anyone go to the tax desk in all the time I was at the airport.
It's easy to do on the Love Bali app and everyone should support the country even if it's not currently being enforced it was like less than £10 for me which is nothing really, roll on weekend as il be going to BALI for 2 weeks 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@AMz07 many thanks for your comment sharing your experiance of paying the tourist tax online🙂
Still have to pay visa on arrival £30 and then use a computer to generate qr code for immigration, has to be a quicker way to do things, should just put the visa, QR code for immigration and the levy all on the same QR code keeps it all in one place
Is this tourist tax requirement? And is this price per person?
Yes I think so. can either pay online or at the counter in the arrivals hall. I don't know what happens if you don't pay
Hi Gary, I don't recognise the payment methods, for paying the tourist tax. Can you not use a Visa card there?
It did not show visa card as a payment option
Can we pay in USD?
I think has to be paid in idr. You can also pay online prior to your arrival.
Is the tourist tax mandatory or optional
I think it is mandatory but i am not 100% sure.
It's mandatory they will scan qr code at the exit and tell our name
Cnt of a airport
@sarahhlousek po 4 minutě ukazuje tourist tax stánek:)
Probably the most stupid setup ever.
Just make the tourist pay where they pay for VOA.
Jeeeez.
I think many tourists will miss this as it does not really stand out and there are no signs showing where this tourist tax is to be paid.
