Indonesia visas

Who needs a visa to visit Indonesia?

If you intend to stay in Indonesia for more than 30 days or are travelling for a reason other than tourism, you must get a visa prior to departure. If you are not a citizen of one of the countries listed further down the page, you will need a visa to enter Indonesia.

Entry into Indonesia

To enter Indonesia, all passengers aged 18 and older must be completely vaccinated. For domestic travel in Indonesia, adults and children aged 6 to 17 are subject to additional vaccination and booster requirements (see 'Domestic Travel').

Irish travellers can obtain a 30-day visa upon arrival in Indonesia for a fee of IDR 500,000. By applying to the local Indonesian immigration office, the visa-upon-arrival can be renewed once (by up to an extra 30 days). Within the initial 30 days, travellers must extend their visa to avoid a visa overstay charge. On the official Indonesian immigration website, you can find a comprehensive overview of the types of visas that travellers can receive and the conditions for each.

COVID-19 restrictions on international and domestic travel inside Indonesia are constantly and frequently abruptly modified.

• Undergo a temperature check upon arrival. Passengers with COVID-19 symptoms or a body temperature exceeding 37.5 degrees Fahrenheit must also undertake an RT-PCR test. If the test is positive, patients may be sent at their own expense to a hospital or isolation facility. If the test is negative, individuals who are completely vaccinated may continue their journey.
• Install the PeduliLindungi application on their mobile devices in order to gain entry to public locations.
• In Indonesia, this app is frequently and strictly used to demonstrate confirmation of vaccination.
• Show proof of complete immunisation. The Digital COVID Certificate from the European Union is recognised as proof of immunisation for admission into Indonesia. Children under the age of 18 and those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons are exempt from presenting immunisation documentation upon arrival.
