Why You Need a Dummy Ticket for Bali from Bangladesh
Bali is one of the most popular tourist, honeymoon, and digital-nomad destinations for Bangladeshis. While Bangladeshi citizens can get a Visa on Arrival (VOA) at Denpasar airport, two specific situations make a flight itinerary essential:
- Airlines require proof of onward travel before boarding. All airlines flying to Indonesia from Bangladesh enforce this rule — you cannot check in for your flight without showing a return or onward ticket.
- The Indonesia e-VOA application requires a flight itinerary upload — applied online before travel for a smoother arrival.
Buying a real round-trip ticket just to satisfy these requirements is wasteful — flights to Bali range from 43,000 to 75,000 Taka. EchoFlights gives you a professionally formatted flight itinerary for just 100 Taka via bKash.
Indonesia Visa Options for Bangladeshi Tourists
Visa on Arrival (VOA / B213)
Bangladeshi citizens are eligible for VOA at Denpasar Ngurah Rai International Airport. Validity: 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days. Cost: approximately USD 35 in cash (USD or IDR) or by card. Requirements at the counter:

- Return or onward flight ticket — this is where your EchoFlights dummy ticket comes in
- Proof of accommodation
e-Visa on Arrival (e-VOA)
Indonesia's e-VOA allows you to apply online before travel and receive your visa electronically. You upload your passport, photo, and flight itinerary as part of the application. The e-VOA fee is similar to the standard VOA. Processing usually takes a few hours to one business day.
