Do Britons Need a Visa for Bali in 2026?

Yes — holders of a British Citizen passport need a visa for Bali, but it is straightforward. The UK is on Indonesia’s Visa on Arrival (VOA) list, not the visa-free list. For an ordinary holiday you do not apply at the Indonesian Embassy in London. You either purchase the VOA on landing at Ngurah Rai Airport or, the smoother option, apply for the eVOA online before flying from Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester or Edinburgh.

The VOA covers 30 days from arrival and is extendable once by a further 30 days — 60 days maximum in Bali. For most British travellers — a fortnight in Seminyak, a honeymoon, a surf or diving trip, or a few weeks working remotely — the VOA or eVOA is sufficient.

If you plan to stay beyond 60 days — increasingly common among British remote workers and retirees escaping the UK winter — you will need one of the longer visas covered below, arranged before you travel.

Note on passport type: this guidance is for British Citizen passports. Other British nationals — British National (Overseas), British Overseas Territories Citizen, etc. — may be treated differently. If your passport is not a standard British Citizen passport, check with us first.

How Britons Apply for the eVOA — Step by Step

British citizens should apply for the eVOA online before departure to skip the airport queue:

1. Use the official portal only — evisa.imigrasi.go.id. It is the sole official Indonesian eVOA site; lookalike scam sites target UK travellers, so verify the address. Apply 90 days to 48 hours before departure.
2. Register and select “Visa on Arrival (B1)”, choosing United Kingdom as your nationality.
3. Upload your British passport bio page (valid 6+ months beyond arrival, blank page available) and a passport-style photo.
4. Pay IDR 500,000 with a Visa, Mastercard or JCB card — your UK debit or credit card is charged the GBP equivalent (about £28) at your bank’s rate.
5. Receive the eVOA PDF by email — print it and keep a phone copy. Up to five applicants per session suits couples and families.
6. On arrival, use the eVOA lane, complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card, and pay the tourist levy.

Prefer to delegate it? We prepare, verify and submit your eVOA so a small document error never causes a rejection. Message us.

Best Long-Stay Visa for Britons

British long-stayers in Bali are typically remote professionals or retirees, so the choice usually narrows to three permits:

• Working remotely for a UK (or any overseas) employer or your own clients? The Digital Nomad Visa E33G gives one year if you earn USD 60,000+/year and hold an overseas employment contract. It is not renewable — you leave and re-apply to continue.
• Aged 55+ and retiring in Bali? The Retirement KITAS E33F requires USD 3,000/month income (a UK pension can qualify), health insurance, and a Bali rental. Many British retirees later look at KITAP permanent residency.
• Settling for years at any age, or buying a home? The Second Home Visa E33 suits Britons who can deposit IDR 2 billion (~GBP 103,000) in a state bank within 90 days of arrival, or who own qualifying property — no employment requirement, no upper age limit.

A common British route is to live in Bali on a B211A for a couple of months, then convert to a KITAS onshore. We will set out the cheapest legal path in pounds.

British Passport — What You Need at Ngurah Rai Airport

Landing in Bali on a British Citizen passport, expect to need:

• Passport validity: at least 6 months beyond arrival, with a blank page.
• Your visa: VOA on arrival or a pre-approved eVOA.
• All Indonesia Arrival Card (AIDC): free, at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id within 3 days before arrival.
• Bali Tourist Levy: IDR 150,000 per person.
• Onward/return ticket and accommodation booking.
• Proof of funds: be ready to evidence around USD 2,000 (~GBP 1,580) plus roughly three months of bank statements.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) travel advice for Indonesia mirrors these requirements, but the authoritative source is Indonesian immigration at imigrasi.go.id. If FCDO advice and Indonesian rules differ, follow the Indonesian rule.

FAQ — Bali Visa for Britons

Q1: Can I use my UK debit card for the eVOA?
Yes. The official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id accepts Visa, Mastercard and JCB, so most UK debit and credit cards work for the IDR 500,000 (~£28) charge. Your bank converts to sterling and may add a non-sterling transaction fee. If your card is declined, try another or let us submit it for you.

Q2: Is Bali visa-free for British citizens in 2026?
No. British Citizen passport-holders are not visa-free, but they are VOA-eligible: IDR 500,000 (~£28) for 30 days, extendable once to 60. You don’t need to visit the Indonesian Embassy in London for a normal holiday.

Q3: How long can British citizens stay in Bali?
On the VOA/eVOA, up to 60 days (30 + one 30-day extension). For longer, use a B211A, a KITAS (1–2 years), or the Second Home Visa (5–10 years).

Q4: Does it matter what type of British passport I hold?
Yes. This guidance covers standard British Citizen passports. British National (Overseas), British Overseas Territories Citizen and other categories can have different entry treatment. If you hold a non-standard British passport, confirm your status with us before booking.

Q5: Can Britons work remotely in Bali on a tourist visa?
No. The VOA and B211A prohibit work, and Indonesia is enforcing this in 2026. British remote workers earning USD 60,000+/year need the Digital Nomad Visa E33G. Read what counts as work in 2026 →.
