Indonesia Visa Requirements
British citizens must have a visa for holidays to Indonesia. One option is to apply for a tourist visa online using the Indonesian immigration website at least one week before you travel. You can choose from several options, including 30-day and 60-day visas and multiple-entry visas. If opting for the e-visa, ensure it has been approved before you arrive in Indonesia.
Alternatively, you can get a 30-day visa on arrival (VOA) for IDR 500,000 (about £21), payable in cash or by card, at most of the major airports and seaports. This is valid for single entry only, and you must meet Indonesia’s passport requirements and have proof of onward or return travel.
The 30-day VOA can only be extended once for a maximum of 30 days, by applying through any immigration office in Indonesia, or, if you applied online, through the Indonesian immigration website. Apply before your initial 30-day visa expires to avoid an overstay fine.
Visa scams are on the rise in Indonesia, so always use the official Indonesian immigration website to apply or extend your visa. Follow your visa conditions and expiry date to avoid fines, deportation or prosecution. If you’re in hospital when your visa is due to expire, contact Indonesian immigration before it expires to avoid overstay fines.
Passport Validity for Indonesia Travel
Your passport should be valid for at least six months from your arrival date in Indonesia and must have at least two blank pages.
Other Key Entry Information
Complete the online customs and health declaration via the All Indonesia arrival card website or app within 72 hours of your arrival in Indonesia. This is free to fill out, and you can also use the All Indonesia app to apply for a visa.
If you’re travelling to Bali, you must pay a tourist levy of IDR 150,000 (£8), either online or on arrival.
