Current Travel Situation
Indonesia to Ireland: What You Need to Know
Ireland is the only major English-speaking EU nation that is not in the Schengen Area. This means that even with a valid Schengen visa, Indonesian nationals must obtain a separate Irish visa. Dublin, the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher, and the Giant's Causeway (Northern Ireland) are top attractions. Ireland and the UK are in a Common Travel Area, and an Irish visa may allow entry to the UK under certain conditions.
Practical Tips
Dublin is the main entry point with direct long-haul flights from the Middle East via Emirates and Etihad, and onward connections from Europe. Dublin's DART trains and Luas trams cover the city. Car rental is recommended for exploring the countryside. An Irish visa (type C) combined with a UK visa may allow the Irish and British Isles to be covered in one trip. Contact the Indonesian Embassy in Dublin for emergencies.
