What countries can Indonesian passport holders visit with a UK visa?
Updated 2026-07-20 · every rule verified against official government sources
A valid UK visa in an Indonesian passport unlocks 9 extra countries — no separate visa needed. The headline unlocks for Indonesian citizens: Mexico (180 days), Georgia (90 days), Ireland (90 days). Plus 3 of the UK visa unlock destinations are open to your passport even without it — both lists below.
Why do countries do this? UK consular vetting is accepted as good enough — Ireland built a whole scheme on it (the British-Irish Visa Scheme), and Mexico, Georgia and Saudi Arabia wrote UK visas into their entry rules.

Open to an Indonesian passport anyway
These UK visa-unlock countries already admit Indonesian citizens without it:
The fine print that actually matters
1. Ireland has an order-of-entry condition. The 90-day Irish waiver works only if you enter the UK first on your UK short-stay visa, then travel onward to Ireland — flying straight into Dublin does not qualify.
2. “Used” matters. Albania, Panama, Saudi Arabia and Egypt require at least one UK entry stamp — a fresh, never-used visa fails this test.
3. A UK eTA is not a visa. None of these rules accept the UK's electronic travel authorisation — you need an actual visa vignette in your passport.
Entry requirements change — each rule on the UK visa unlocks page cites its official source with a "last verified" date. Re-check before booking.
