Is There an Airport Tax at Bali Airport? (PSC 2026)

Yes, but you do not pay it at a counter. Bali's airport tax at I Gusti Ngurah Rai is officially called PJP2U, the passenger service charge (PSC), and it is already built into your air fare. It is IDR 120,000 for domestic flights and IDR 240,000 for international flights per passenger departing Bali (checked October 2026).

Where do the IDR 120,000 and IDR 240,000 figures come from?

These rates have applied since an adjustment in November 2021. When 19 other airports raised their PJP2U in mid-2022, Ngurah Rai did not. The then General Manager of Angkasa Pura I at Ngurah Rai, Handy Heryudhitiawan, said the airport was keeping the old rates because its investment and service cost calculations had not changed (NusaBali, 18 July 2022). The airport is now run by PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia (InJourney Airports). As of early October 2026 we could find no announcement of a new increase, but the definitive figure for your trip is the one in your ticket's fare breakdown.

Do I have to pay anything extra at the airport?

No. The PJP2U is collected through the ticket and passed by the airline to the airport operator. When booking, it usually appears under taxes and fees, sometimes labelled airport tax or PSC. If someone in the terminal asks you for "airport tax" in cash, that is not an official procedure.

Who pays it, and when?

The PSC is charged by the departure airport. A Jakarta to Bali ticket includes the Soekarno-Hatta PSC, while a Bali to Jakarta ticket includes Ngurah Rai's IDR 120,000. Foreign tourists flying home pay IDR 240,000 (about USD 15) through the ticket for their outbound flight from Bali. Rules for infants and transit passengers can differ by ticket; check the breakdown with your airline.

Has the PSC ever been discounted?

Yes, for domestic flights during holiday peaks only. InJourney Airports cut the PJP2U by 50% at its 37 airports over Christmas and New Year 2025/2026 (travel 22 December 2025 to 10 January 2026) and for Eid 2026 (purchase 10 February to 29 March, travel 14 to 29 March 2026). The discount showed up directly in ticket prices and did not apply to international routes. For the 2026 year-end holidays, wait for an official announcement; nothing was confirmed as of early October.

How is this different from the IDR 150,000 tourist levy?

It is a completely separate charge. The foreign tourist levy of IDR 150,000 per person is set by Bali Provincial Regulation No. 6 of 2023, has applied since 14 February 2024, is charged to foreigners only, is paid once per arrival through the Love Bali system, and is not part of your ticket. Indonesian citizens are exempt. Payment and the QR proof are covered in our Bali tourist levy FAQ.

And the VAT refund?

That goes the other way: money you may get back, not a fee. Foreign tourists can reclaim VAT on purchases from shops in the VAT refund scheme, processed at the airport on international departure. Minimum spend and counter location are in how to claim a VAT refund at Bali airport.

So what are the airport-related costs for one holiday?

• Indonesian citizen, Jakarta-Bali return: IDR 120,000 PSC on the return flight from Bali, already in the ticket. No IDR 150,000 levy.
• Foreign tourist, international return: IDR 240,000 PSC when leaving Bali (in the ticket), the IDR 150,000 levy (paid separately), plus a visa on arrival if your nationality needs one; fees and requirements are in our Bali VOA and e-VOA 2026 article.
• Foreign tourist flying on to Labuan Bajo or Lombok: add the IDR 120,000 domestic PSC in that ticket.

Next to the whole trip these airport charges are small; the biggest line is usually accommodation, and that is where an AccessiaPass hotel voucher can help you bring the total down.

If you booked through a travel agent, ask for the fare breakdown. The PSC shown there is the only airport tax you pay for departing Bali.
