Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Ireland?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Irish nationals must obtain a visa for Indonesia; in practice the e-Visa is requested online before travel, with a visa on arrival offered only at certain entry points.
An Irish traveller heading to Bali, Lombok or Jakarta must sort out the entry formality before leaving. The most reliable channel from Ireland is the e-Visa, completed on Indonesia's official immigration portal and paid online. Make sure your passport stays valid for at least six months beyond the arrival date.
Do you need a visa?
Ireland is not among the countries exempt from a visa for Indonesia, so an Irish passport holder needs a valid visa whether the trip is a short leisure or business stay. The electronic e-Visa, requested before boarding, is the recommended option; a visa on arrival still exists at some airports but exposes you to queues and a possible refusal at the counter.
How and where to apply
The whole procedure runs online, whether you are in Dublin, Cork or elsewhere in Ireland, at the official site evisa.imigrasi.go.id. After creating an account you complete the form, attach the documents and pay by card; the e-Visa is then emailed to you, with no need to visit the embassy.
Documents and fees
Gather an Irish passport valid for at least six months, a compliant photograph, the address of your accommodation in Indonesia and, in most cases, an onward or return ticket. The precise fee and permitted length of stay depend on the category chosen — refer to the official amount displayed on the portal at the time of application.
Processing and tips
Turnaround time fluctuates with the category and demand, so plan a few days ahead instead of applying the night before your flight. Keep the e-Visa on paper or on your phone, check that your name and passport number are entered exactly as on the document, and retain the payment receipt.
Common mistakes
Common slip-ups among Irish travellers include a passport near expiry, a mistyped passport number, a missing proof of accommodation or return ticket, and mixing up the tourist e-Visa with the visa on arrival. Using a paid intermediary platform rather than the official site needlessly inflates the cost.
