- Reports say the requirement is envisioned to apply across entry types, including eVisa holders and those with longer-stay permits such as KITAS and KITAP.
- No minimum balance or enforcement process has been defined, and consequences for failing to meet the threshold have not been specified.
- A Bali senator has questioned whether the province can add entry conditions that are typically controlled by Indonesia’s national immigration authority.
- The draft has reportedly been sent to Tourism Minister Widiyanti Putri Wardhana and would still need approval from Bali’s regional parliament, with the push linked to record 2025 arrivals exceeding 7.05 million foreign visitors.
