What the official guidance says
Indonesian immigration guidance for visit visa on arrival states that applicants should have a return ticket or onward ticket to another country. Official e-VOA material also states that travelers may need to present a return ticket to the immigration officer on arrival.
Entry and visa rules can change and may differ by nationality, application location, visa category, airline, residence status, or individual circumstances. Always check the current official instructions for your case before paying for a reservation.

What to know before arranging the reservation
- The requirement is generally framed as a return ticket or onward ticket to another country.
- Eligibility and permitted stay depend on nationality and the visa or exemption used.
- An approved e-VOA does not itself guarantee entry; the immigration officer retains the entry decision.
- Airline staff may also verify entry documentation before boarding the flight to Indonesia.
03
Practical checks
- Check your eligibility on Indonesia's official immigration or eVisa website before travel.
- Make sure onward travel occurs within the stay permitted by your entry status.
- Keep the reservation and any e-VOA documents available on your phone and as a backup copy.
- Do not use a document generator that cannot explain what reservation record exists behind the PDF.
