What Indonesian immigration says
Official Indonesian immigration guidance for Visa on Arrival includes:
- valid passport;
- return ticket or onward ticket to another country.
Official immigration FAQs also use return/onward ticket wording for common visitor entry.
Bali is not a separate immigration system
Bali is part of Indonesia.
So a traveler entering Denpasar follows Indonesian immigration rules.
There is no separate “Bali onward ticket law.”
What should your onward booking show?
A practical flight reservation should include:
- passenger name;
- departure from Indonesia;
- next country;
- travel date;
- airline;
- booking reference.
Do you have to return home?
No.
An onward ticket can continue to:
- Singapore;
- Malaysia;
- Thailand;
- another country you are allowed to enter.

- are entering Bali one way;

Check whether ticket issuance is required
Official Indonesian wording uses return/onward ticket.
If your airline or immigration check specifically requires an issued paid ticket, buy the real ticket rather than relying on an unticketed reservation.
