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).

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.

What to do if your visa to Indonesia is refused?
People routinely ask us how we can “guarantee” the issuance of a visa. Because all final decisions are made by embassies, there is no way to obtain a 100 percent guarantee. All you can do is ensure that your application is as strong as possible. Please get in touch with us if your visa application was denied. You have the opportunity to dispute this verdict. The embassy of the Member State that opted to deny the visa distributes a standard form to notify the applicant of the decision to deny a Indonesian visa and the reasons for the decision.
