Bali visa if you live in the UK

Living in the UK does not decide your Bali visa. Indonesia checks the passport you travel on, so people living in the same country can need different routes.

The short answer

Your travel passport determines the Indonesian route; living in United Kingdom does not change it.

British ordinary passport holders are eligible for B1 e-VOA. Other passports may qualify for different routes, so check the passport you will present before booking or applying.

Which visa does your passport need?

This guide shows GBP starting references and selected passport examples. The route follows the passport used to travel, not place of birth or residence. Prices are fixed in GBP on this page and do not change with the header currency selector; the written quote confirms the current route and exact total.

The census figures are passport-held counts for England and Wales only, not the whole UK. The 2021 Census directly recorded passport held in England and Wales: Polish (760,000), Romanian (550,000) and Indian (369,000) were large non-UK passport groups. This is not UK-wide, is a 2021 snapshot, and its multiple-passport classification has a priority rule. It is useful context, not travel demand. Actual eligibility follows the passport you will travel on. Check the published passport lists.

Starting references are approximate conversions from the published VBS tiers: 1 USD = 0.751538 GBP (checked 29 October 2026). The B1/C1 reference includes the listed visa fee and assistance tier; third-party payment charges, extensions and Bali’s tourist levy may be separate. We confirm the current scope, currency and payable total in writing before you pay.

Does living in the UK change your Bali visa?

A visa, work permit or residence card issued by United Kingdom does not give you the Indonesian visa access of a British passport holder. Indonesia checks the passport you present for the application and at entry.

If you hold more than one passport, tell us which one you will use. Keep that passport consistent for the application, airline check-in and entry to Indonesia.

Returning to the UK

British citizens should travel on a valid British passport. UK residents using another passport should check that their UKVI account and eVisa are linked to their current travel document before leaving and returning to the UK.

Before you travel from the UK to Bali

Check every country on your flight itinerary, including any transit stop. A Bali visa only covers Indonesia; it does not grant permission to transit through another country. Apply through the official Indonesian e-Visa portal and follow its current instructions.

Check Indonesia’s official e-Visa portal for current passport validity, onward-ticket and document requirements. Immigration makes the final entry decision.

Bali visa prices from the UK

Published starting references are £30 for B1 and £75 for C1 in GBP. Visa-free passports do not pay an Indonesian visa fee for the eligible short visit. Your final total depends on the route, current government charge and supporting work; we send it in writing before payment.

The local-currency figures are fixed to this residence guide, not the header display setting. Exchange rates and official fees can change, so treat them as starting estimates.

Bali visa questions from the UK residents

Passport eligibility, local return documents, GBP starting references and our review process.

Why are Polish, Romanian and Indian passports included?

The 2021 Census for England and Wales reports passport-held counts for these groups. It does not cover the whole UK or show who plans to travel to Bali, so the figures are dated context only.

Do British passport holders need a visa for Bali?

British ordinary passports are included on Indonesia’s published B1 Visa on Arrival list. B1 allows up to 30 days initially and may be extended once, subject to current rules.

Does living in the UK change the route for my passport?

No. Indonesia uses the passport you will travel on. Your UK visa or residence status can matter when returning to the UK, so check your UKVI account and travel document separately.

How much does Bali visa assistance cost in pounds?

The page shows approximate GBP starting references based on a dated exchange rate. The exact route, current government charge and final total are confirmed in writing before you pay.

What if my passport needs a C1 visitor visa?

C1 is a prior-approval visitor route and may involve a sponsor and additional checks. We confirm whether it can proceed for your case before sending a quote.

Do I pay when I send a request?

No. The team checks your passport route and documents first. If we can proceed, we email the written quote and secure payment link.
