Do you need a new Indonesia visa to re-enter Bali after a short trip to Singapore, and can you use Singapore’s 96-hour transit facility?

TL;DR
Yes: if you leave Bali for Singapore and then fly back to Bali, that is a new entry to Indonesia, so you need a new visa or VOA. For a Bali–Singapore–Bali itinerary, Singapore’s 96-hour transit facility generally does not apply, so travelers from visa-required countries need a regular Singapore visa.

Once you fly from Bali to Singapore, your current Indonesia entry ends. When you return to Bali, it counts as a new entry, so you need to get a new Visa on Arrival or e-VOA.

Even if your whole trip is exactly 30 days, a Bali–Singapore–Bali side trip is not treated as one continuous stay. The first Indonesia entry ends when you depart, and returning to Bali starts a fresh 30-day stay with a new visa payment.

For a Bali–Singapore–Bali routing, Singapore’s 96-hour visa-free transit normally does not work: the discussion notes that you need a regular Singapore visa if your passport is from a visa-required country.
