Bali Visa Revenue Reaches Rp405.25 Billion in First Half of 2026

Denpasar — — Bali contributed Rp405.25 billion in visa-related revenue to Indonesia’s state treasury in the first half of 2026, according to the provincial office of the Directorate General of Treasury (DJPb) in Bali.

The figure covers January–June 2026 and reflects non-tax state revenue from visa charges collected in the province, DJPb Bali chief Supendi said in remarks reported by local business outlet Bisnis Nusa on 31 July 2026.

According to Bisnis Nusa’s summary of the DJPb data, the largest share of this visa revenue came from the immigration office at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Badung, Bali’s main entry point for foreign visitors.

Visa revenue and immigration fees

Supendi’s presentation divided Bali’s non-tax state revenue into several categories.

For visa revenue, he reported a realization of Rp405.25 billion for the first semester of 2026.

In a separate immigration category, revenue from immigration permits and re-entry permits in Bali reached Rp136.5 billion over the same period, or 65.6 percent of a Rp207.9 billion full-year target.

Bisnis Nusa cited the DJPb data as showing that visa collections and immigration-related fees form a significant part of Bali’s non-tax state revenue, alongside other service and resource charges.

Other non-tax revenue and public service agencies

Beyond visas and immigration permits, Supendi reported that Bali’s “other” non-tax state revenue reached Rp1.01 trillion in the first half of 2026.

The DJPb data indicated that this “other” category was down about 21 percent from approximately Rp1.29 trillion in the same period of 2025.

By contrast, revenue from public service agencies in Bali rose year-on-year.

Bisnis Nusa reported that public-service-agency receipts reached Rp1.11 trillion during January–June 2026, compared with around Rp912 billion in the first half of 2025, an increase of just over 22 percent.

Visitor arrivals context

While visa revenue provides one measure of how international tourism contributes to the national treasury, it does not capture total visitor spending on accommodation, food, transport and attractions.

Data compiled from Bali’s Central Statistics Agency (BPS Bali) and summarized by hospitality firm Bukit Vista show that the island recorded 2,598,143 direct foreign arrivals between January and May 2026.

Bukit Vista’s table, based on BPS Bali’s monthly releases, lists 502,205 foreign arrivals in January, 492,289 in February, 472,070 in March, 553,328 in April and 578,251 in May 2026, with the five-month total calculated by simple addition.

The same analysis notes that this January–May 2026 total was modestly below the comparable figure for 2025, indicating slightly softer growth in foreign arrivals to Bali in early 2026.

Key figures for first-half 2026

• Visa revenue in Bali, January–June 2026: Rp405.25 billion
• Immigration permits and re-entry permits, January–June 2026: Rp136.5 billion (65.6% of Rp207.9 billion annual target)
• “Other” non-tax state revenue in Bali, January–June 2026: Rp1.01 trillion
• Public service agency revenue in Bali, January–June 2026: Rp1.11 trillion
• Direct foreign arrivals to Bali, January–May 2026: 2,598,143 visitors (BPS Bali data compiled by Bukit Vista)

Treasury officials and local analysts have highlighted these figures as evidence that Bali’s international tourism continues to make a substantial contribution to Indonesia’s non-tax revenue, even as growth in visitor numbers has become more moderate in early 2026.
