"POOR" PEOPLE CAN'T GO TO BALI ? Seriously.TV? Starting next year, foreign visitors planning to stay 60 days or longer may be required to show proof of sufficient funds and a clear travel plan.

This does not affect travelers using the standard 30-day Visa on Arrival (VOA). Why this conversation matters now After record levels of tourism in 2025, Bali finds itself at a crossroads.

The intention behind the policy This is not about excluding travelers. It’s about ensuring that those who stay longer are able to: • Support themselves responsibly • Respect local laws, culture, and daily life • Avoid informal or illegal work • Reduce pressure on housing, infrastructure, and public spaces

As Bali’s governor has said:

“Tourism must bring balance — not just numbers, but quality, responsibility, and respect for Bali and its people.”
