Arrival or Departure Tax
Beyond passport and visa requirements, some countries have an additional requirement for visitors: an entry or exit tax. Check the State Department's country-by-country entry requirementsto see if your destination is on the list.
The amount of the fee and how and when it’s charged vary by destination. Indonesia, for example, charges a 150,000 Rupiah departure tax at the Jakarta airport—and it must be paid in Rupiah. In Chile, U.S. visitors must pay a $160 "reciprocity fee" when they enter the country via Santiago International Airport. You don't want to be short on the required cash on your way in or out of the country, so hit up the ATM before you go.
