The Bali Provincial Government issued Circular Letter (SE) Number 7 of 2025 containing new regulations for foreign tourists on Monday. Bali Governor Wayan Koster stated in Denpasar that the circular outlines obligations, prohibitions, and sanctions for foreign tourists. He earlier noted that a similar circular was released in 2023, but due to evolving circumstances during his 1.5-year hiatus as governor, some aspects had to be streamlined along the way. Foreign tourists are required to respect the sanctity of temples, statues, and sacred religious icons. The new circular order of the Bali Provincial Government mandates that foreign tourists wear modest and appropriate clothing, especially when visiting sacred sites, tourist attractions, and public places or while engaging in activities in Bali. Foreign tourists are also expected to behave respectfully in holy areas, tourist locations, restaurants, shopping areas, streets, and public places. The Bali Provincial Government also mandates that foreign tourists pay a levy of Rp150 thousand before departure or during their stay in Bali. Once in Bali, they are required to be accompanied by a licensed tour guide who is knowledgeable about the natural environment, customs, traditions, and local wisdom of the Balinese people. The circular includes transaction rules, such as exchanging foreign currency at official foreign exchange business operators (KUPVA) (banks and non-banks), using the Indonesian standard QR code for payments, and conducting transactions exclusively in the rupiah currency.Source : https://en.antaranews.com/news/349617/bali-introduces-comprehensive-guidelines-for-foreign-tourists?utm_source=antaranews&utm_medium=desktop&utm_campaign=popular_right (ICE GIACARTA)
