What proof of onward travel is required for Bali e-visa if leaving Indonesia from a different island?

If the flight out of Indonesia is on a separate booking and departs from a different point in your itinerary, airline check-in staff may ask for the full connection: domestic flights or ground transport to that departure point, followed by the international ticket. In one Sheremetyevo report, hotel bookings were also briefly checked, so keep the whole itinerary printed or available offline.

Proof of onward travel may be checked at check-in for the flight to Indonesia: a recent report says the Bali departure ticket was requested only about half the time. Keep it ready before departure.

As proof of onward travel, the ticket should continue to a third country rather than be a quick out-and-back routing. One reported workable option was transit via Singapore: visa-free transit of up to 96 hours is generally allowed there if the onward ticket chain is in order.

If you plan to exit Indonesia from a different city (e.g., Medan to Penang), you can attach that specific ticket to your e-visa application. Immigration officers understand that tourists island-hop and may depart from a different airport than their entry point.

When applying for a second consecutive e-visa, you can reuse the same onward departure ticket from the first application, as long as the departure date falls within the validity period of the new visa.

A cheap booking confirmation or unticket reservation is generally sufficient for the e-visa application — a fully paid ticket is not required. Border officers at Bali airport typically do not re-check onward travel documents upon arrival.
