Indonesia and Bali for Bangladeshi Travelers
Indonesia — and especially Bali — has emerged as one of the top bucket-list destinations for Bangladeshi tourists. Bali's combination of world-class beaches, Hindu temples, rice terraces, vibrant nightlife, and affordable luxury makes it uniquely appealing. Beyond Bali, Indonesia offers Jakarta's urban energy, Lombok's unspoiled beaches, Komodo Island's unique wildlife, and Yogyakarta's ancient temples.
As a Bangladeshi passport holder, you can enter Indonesia through the visa on arrival (VoA) or by applying for an e-visa online before travel. Both options require you to show a flight itinerary (dummy ticket) as proof of onward travel. At EchoFlights, you can get your Indonesia flight itinerary for just 100 Taka via bKash.

Indonesia Visa Options for Bangladeshi Citizens
Visa on Arrival (VoA) — Most Popular Option
Bangladeshi citizens are eligible for Indonesia's Visa on Arrival at major entry points including Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali (DPS), Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta (CGK), and other major Indonesian airports.
Key VoA details:
- Duration: 30 days (extendable once for another 30 days)
- Cost: IDR 500,000 (approximately USD 31 / 3,500 BDT)
- Payment: Cash in IDR, USD, or credit card at the VoA counter
- Requirements at arrival: Return or onward flight ticket, accommodation proof, USD 100 equivalent cash per day (or credit card)
A dummy ticket showing a return flight is one of the most important documents at the VoA counter in Bali. Indonesian immigration officers routinely ask to see your onward travel plan before issuing the VoA stamp.
E-Visa (B211A — Social/Tourism)
Indonesia's e-visa (B211A Index) is the electronic version that can be applied for online before travel. This is particularly useful if you want to avoid queues at the VoA counter upon arrival.
- Duration: 60 days initially, extendable
- Cost: IDR 500,000 + processing fee (total approximately USD 35–50)
- Application: Online via the Molina Indonesia immigration portal
- Flight itinerary required: Yes — as part of the e-visa application
- Processing time: 3–7 business days
Why a Dummy Ticket Is Critical for Bali/Indonesia
Unlike many countries where the flight itinerary is a background document checked only if questioned, Indonesian immigration at the VoA counter actively checks for onward travel proof. Without a return or onward flight ticket, officers at Ngurah Rai (Bali) airport or Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta) airport can refuse your entry or deny the VoA stamp.
A professional dummy ticket from EchoFlights shows a return flight from Bali or Jakarta back to Dhaka with real airline flight numbers and dates — exactly what Bali immigration expects to see at the VoA counter.
Indonesia Visa Options Comparison
| Visa Type | Duration | Cost (approx) | Application | Proof of Onward Travel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visa on Arrival (VoA) | 30 days (extendable) | IDR 500,000 (~USD 31) | On arrival at airport | Required — strictly checked |
| E-Visa (B211A) | 60 days (extendable) | ~USD 35–50 | Online before travel | Required for application |
| Embassy Sticker Visa | 30–60 days | USD 50–120 | Embassy in Dhaka | Required for application |
Popular Bali Destinations and Entry Airports
When generating your dummy ticket for Indonesia, keep these key entry points in mind:
- Denpasar / Bali — Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) — the main entry point for Bali; most Bangladeshi tourists choose this
- Jakarta — Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) — gateway to Java, gateway for many connecting flights
- Lombok — Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport (LOP) — for Gili Islands access
- Yogyakarta — Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) — for Borobudur and Prambanan temples
Your dummy ticket should show your arrival at DPS (Bali) or CGK (Jakarta) and a corresponding return to Dhaka (DAC). Make sure the entry point on your itinerary matches your actual flight booking after visa approval.
Flight Routes from Bangladesh to Indonesia
There are no direct non-stop flights from Dhaka to Bali or Jakarta. Typical connecting routes include:
- Dhaka (DAC) → Kuala Lumpur (KUL) → Bali (DPS) — via Malaysia Airlines or AirAsia (most popular route)
- Dhaka (DAC) → Kuala Lumpur (KUL) → Jakarta (CGK) — via Malaysia Airlines or AirAsia
- Dhaka (DAC) → Singapore (SIN) → Bali (DPS) — via Singapore Airlines + IndiGo or Scoot
- Dhaka (DAC) → Bangkok (BKK) → Bali (DPS) — via Thai Airways or Air Asia
- Dhaka (DAC) → Hong Kong (HKG) → Bali (DPS) — via Cathay Pacific
Tips for a Smooth Bali/Indonesia Trip from Bangladesh
Carry Your Dummy Ticket Printed and on Your Phone
Bali VoA counters often ask to see your return flight immediately upon presenting your passport. Have your EchoFlights PDF ready — printed is best, but a digital copy on your phone is generally accepted. Make sure your passport name and the name on the dummy ticket match exactly.
Show Sufficient Funds
Indonesia's immigration recommends showing at least USD 100 per day of intended stay (approximately 11,000 BDT per day) in cash or via a credit card. For a 7-day Bali trip, have at least USD 700 accessible. This can be in cash or as a credit card with sufficient limit.
Plan for the Extension If Needed
If you want to stay longer than 30 days, the VoA can be extended once at the local immigration office (Kantor Imigrasi) in Bali or Jakarta. Extension costs approximately IDR 500,000. Plan your dummy ticket's return date to allow time for this if you plan to extend.
Travel Insurance Recommended
While not strictly required for the VoA, travel insurance is strongly recommended for Bali trips. Medical care can be expensive for foreigners, and emergency evacuation from Bali is very costly without insurance.
