United Kingdom to Indonesia visa requirements

British Citizen ordinary passport holders need a visa for Indonesia; the 30-day B1 Visa on Arrival/e-VOA costs IDR 500,000. British Citizen ordinary passport holders must have a visa to visit Indonesia. For short tourism, visiting, permitted meetings, government business, goods purchasing, or transit, the standard route is Indonesia's B1 Visa on Arrival (VoA) or electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA). The official fee is IDR 500,000 for an initial 30-day single-entry stay, with card or service fees possible for online or card payments. The stay can be extended once for another 30 days, giving a maximum of 60 days on the B1 route. The e-VOA is applied for on the official evisa.imigrasi.go.id portal and must be used within 90 days of issue; a non-electronic VoA can still be obtained at major airports and ports listed by Indonesian immigration. Travellers need a passport valid for at least 6 months from arrival, at least 2 blank pages, and a return or onward ticket. Before travel, complete the free All Indonesia arrival card within 72 hours of arrival; it combines arrival, customs, health, and quarantine declarations and replaces separate SATUSEHAT/customs-style workflows. The B1/VoA route does not allow employment or receiving wages in Indonesia. Work, study, journalism/filming, volunteering outside the allowed scope, or longer stays require the appropriate visa or permit.
