Tourism tax:

The do’s and don’ts for international travelers:

Bali Governor Wayan Koster has dropped the administration’s official do's and don’ts guidelines.

Visitors will now be encouraged to scan a QR code on arrival at Bali Airport.

The barcode contains what is allowed and what is not allowed while on Bali. Visitors who want to enter Bali are also required to scan or scan.

The QR code will then link to a series of Google Docs, which contain the infographics.

Here are the do’s and don’ts for our international travelers:
