Use of Website

By using the Treasure Bali website to pay the tourist levy, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. Please read these documents carefully before making a payment.

Legal Basis

The Bali Provincial Government has instituted the Foreign Tourist Levy to support the preservation of Bali’s rich customs, traditions, arts, and local wisdom. This levy is effective from February 14, 2024, and is mandated through the following legal framework:

• Law Number 15 of 2023: Concerning the Province of Bali, which establishes the authority to impose levies on foreign tourists.
• Bali Province Regional Regulation Number 6 of 2023: Concerning the Levy for Foreign Tourists for the Protection of Balinese Culture and Natural Environment. This regulation details the purpose of the levy and the specific areas where the funds will be utilized.
• Bali Governor Regulation Number 2 of 2024: Outlining the Procedures for the Payment of the Foreign Tourist Levy. This regulation specifies how the levy should be collected, the methods of payment acceptable, and the responsibilities of payment service providers like Treasure Bali.

We, as a tourist levy payment service provider, are committed to ensuring that all transactions comply with these regulations, facilitating a smooth and legally compliant payment process for foreign tourists. It is strongly recommended to make the payment before departure to Bali to ensure compliance with local legal requirements and contribute to the sustainability of Bali’s cultural and natural heritage.

Payment Information

To make a payment on our website, you will need to provide your full legal name, passport number, and date of arrival in Bali directly at checkout. This information is used solely for processing your payment and complying with regulatory requirements.

Payment Procedure

• Payments must be made using credit or debit cards. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
• Payments can be made in all major currencies, including EUR, USD, AUD, among others. The currency is automatically selected based on your location to simplify the transaction.
• All payments are processed securely and in compliance with international payment standards.

Payment Security

We are dedicated to ensuring the highest level of security for all transactions processed through our website. As part of this commitment, we utilize one of the leading payment processors in the industry, to handle all payment activities. Our processor adheres to the most stringent levels of certification available in the payments industry.

Our processor is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1, the highest level of certification offered by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This standard mandates an extensive set of security controls which our processor uses to ensure that your payment information is protected. These controls include encryption of data during transmission and storage, secure network configurations, and rigorous access controls to sensitive data.

Your payment details are never stored on our servers. Instead, they are directly processed and secured by our payment processor, which employs state-of-the-art security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access and fraud. Additionally, all transaction processing is conducted over secure HTTPS connections with the use of modern TLS protocols, ensuring that your data is safely encrypted when transmitted to our payment processor.

Levy Payment

The tourist levy payment is a mandatory requirement for all foreign tourists visiting Bali, instituted to support the maintenance and enhancement of the region’s cultural and environmental assets. It is strongly recommended that this payment is made prior to your arrival to ensure smooth entry into Bali. Payments made through our website are secure, final, and non-refundable.

Upon successfully completing your payment, you will receive an immediate transaction confirmation on our website. Within 24 hours of your payment, a second email will be sent to you containing a QR code. This QR code serves as proof of levy payment and is required upon arrival. Simply present the QR code to the customs officer on your mobile device at the Bali international airport. For your convenience, there is no need to print out the QR code, although you may choose to do so if you prefer having a physical copy.

Please note that the levy vouchers will be emailed to you directly from the Bali provincial government from the following address: [email protected]. Ensure to check your spam/junk folder in case the email is filtered by your email service provider.

The total price paid, as displayed during checkout, will also be presented in the purchase confirmation email sent to you immediately upon completing your purchase. However, please note that the price shown on the levy voucher itself will differ. The levy voucher price includes only the provincial government’s levy cost and their service fee. This amount does not account for our platform’s service fees, which cover essential operational costs such as currency conversion, transaction processing, maintaining our multi-currency platform, and providing multi-lingual customer support.

It is crucial that all information provided during the payment process is accurate and complete, as this will be used to generate your entry documentation. Please ensure that your full legal name, passport number, and date of arrival are entered correctly. If you experience any issues during the payment process or have not received your confirmation emails as described, please contact our customer support for assistance.

We kindly request that you do not purchase the Bali tourist levy for the same name and date of arrival on a different website after purchasing it through our platform. Doing so interferes with our ability to process your tourist levy application effectively due to the government system blocking duplicate applications.

Please be aware that if you choose to purchase the tourist levy again on a different website, your tourist levy will no longer be processed through our platform, and you will not be eligible for a refund from us. All transactions made through our platform are final.

Right of Withdrawal

Due to the nature of our service, which involves the immediate provision of digital content (facilitation of the Bali tourist levy), the right of withdrawal does not apply once the service has begun. By purchasing our service, you agree to the immediate commencement of the service and acknowledge that you waive any right to withdraw from the contract or request a refund once the service process has started.

All transactions made through our platform are final and non-refundable. This includes situations where:

• You fail to provide the required information (e.g., passport number) necessary for us to complete the service.
• The arrival date entered is beyond 60 days into the future – levy vouchers in those instances will be issued 40-50 days prior to your planned arrival date.
• You have already purchased the Bali tourist levy through another platform, resulting in duplicate applications that cannot be processed.

By completing your purchase, you explicitly consent to the terms outlined here, understanding that the service is provided immediately and cannot be canceled or refunded once the service process has started.

Arrival Date Compliance

If the arrival date provided by the customer is beyond 14 days in the past, they will receive a tourist levy voucher with an arrival date 14 days in the past as it is the maximum date in the past allowed by the Bali provincial government system. Additionally, if the provided arrival date is beyond 60 days into the future, the customer will receive their tourist levy voucher within 40-50 days prior to their arrival date to ensure compliance with the maximum date in the future allowed by the Bali government system. If a customer enters an arrival date over a year in the past, their tourist levy will be issued with the current date.

Required Information Compliance

If the customer does not provide their passport number, which is mandatory for the Bali provincial government to issue the tourist levy, we will contact the customer via email to request this missing information. If the customer does not respond with the required passport number within 48 hours, the levy voucher will not be issued. As all transactions are final and non-refundable, no refund will be provided in such cases.

This includes details about our services, payment procedures, and any necessary regulatory information relevant to your visit to Bali.
