Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit IE?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Ireland. Apply for a Short Stay 'C' Visit/Tourist visa online via AVATS before you travel — Ireland is not in the Schengen Area, so a Schengen visa and ETIAS do not apply here. Indonesia is a visa-required nationality for Ireland, so a tourist visit needs a Short Stay 'C' visa obtained in advance. Ireland is an EU member but is NOT part of the Schengen Area, meaning a Schengen visa does not cover Ireland and the EU's ETIAS travel authorisation (rolling out late 2026) does not apply. Indonesian travellers must complete an online application on the AVATS portal, pay the fee (EUR 60 single entry / EUR 100 multiple entry), then submit their passport and supporting documents to the designated visa office or VFS centre within 30 days. The 'C' visa permits stays of up to 90 days; the visa label itself must be used (first entry) within the period stated, typically within 90 days of issue. Plan ahead: decisions generally take around 8 weeks, and applications can be lodged up to 3 months before travel. There is a limited UK-Ireland exemption for some nationalities holding a valid UK visa, but Indonesians are not covered by the British-Irish Visa Scheme, so a separate Irish visa is required.
