Indonesia to United Kingdom visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a UK Standard Visitor visa before travel. The 6-month visitor visa costs GBP 135 and allows visits of up to 6 months. Indonesian ordinary passport holders are visa nationals for the United Kingdom: GOV.UK's visa checker says an Indonesian national coming for ordinary tourism needs a visa, and Appendix Visitor lists Indonesia among nationalities requiring entry clearance before travel. For tourism, visiting family or friends, permitted business activities, or short courses of up to 6 months, apply online for a Standard Visitor visa before travel. The 6-month Standard Visitor visa costs GBP 135; long-term 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year Standard Visitor visas cost GBP 506, GBP 903, and GBP 1,128, with each visit still limited to 6 months. ETA is not a substitute for Indonesian visitor travel because ETA is for nationalities that usually need an ETA rather than a visa. For transit, GOV.UK's checker distinguishes airside transit from transit through UK border control: Indonesian travellers who pass through UK border control generally need a Visitor in Transit visa unless they qualify for transit without visa, while staying in the UK for more than 48 hours requires a Standard Visitor visa. A passport or travel document must be valid for the whole UK stay, and visitors must follow the Standard Visitor rules, including no ordinary paid or unpaid work for a UK company and no living in the UK through frequent or successive visits.
