People also ask
How long can UK citizens stay in Indonesia?
Stay length is set by the visa-on-arrival granted at the border; the Passport Index snapshot records the mechanism, not a day count. Check imigrasi.go.id for current terms.
Can UK citizens extend a stay in Indonesia?
Possibly, but this page's dataset covers entry only. Whether and how a stay can be extended is up to the Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration — confirm on imigrasi.go.id before your original window runs out.
Do I need an onward ticket to enter Indonesia?
Airlines and border officers can ask for proof of onward travel regardless of visa status, and enforcement varies. Neither this dataset nor this page can promise you won't be asked — check gov.uk and your airline's conditions before departure.
What happens if UK citizens overstay in Indonesia?
Consequences are set by Indonesia's immigration rules and can include fines and re-entry restrictions; they sit outside the scope of the Passport Index dataset. Treat the permitted stay as hard and verify specifics on imigrasi.go.id.
