Do I need an onward ticket when travelling from Bali?

If you are flying from or entering Indonesia via Bali, airlines and immigration may require proof of onward travel — a document showing you have a confirmed departure flight. A free onward ticket from MyJet24 satisfies this requirement at both airline check-in and border control.

Is it legal to use a free onward ticket from Bali?

Yes. An onward ticket from MyJet24 is a legitimate flight reservation with a booking reference (PNR), not a forged document. Airlines and immigration officers accept verified flight reservations as proof of onward travel. Using one is 100% legal and recommended over buying non-refundable tickets.

How fast can I get an onward ticket from Bali?

Your onward ticket PDF departing from Bali is ready in under 30 seconds. Enter the nearest airport to Bali, your destination, travel dates, and passenger name. Download the PDF instantly — no registration or credit card required.

What information does the onward ticket PDF include?

The PDF includes: passenger name matching your passport, departure from Jakarta (CGK) near Bali, destination airport, travel dates, airline name, flight number, booking reference (PNR), seat class, and QR code. This covers every field airlines and immigration require.

Do airlines check for onward tickets at Indonesia airports?

Yes. Airlines at Jakarta (CGK) and other Indonesia airports check for proof of onward travel at check-in because they face financial penalties if they transport a passenger who is denied entry. Without an onward ticket, you may be denied boarding.

Which airports near Bali can I use?

Indonesia has international airports including Jakarta (CGK), Bali Ngurah Rai (DPS), Surabaya (SUB). Select the airport closest to Bali when generating your onward ticket on MyJet24. The airport on your ticket should match your actual travel plans.

How much does an onward ticket from Bali cost?

MyJet24 offers a free onward ticket with watermark or a premium version for $7.90 with a clean PDF and verifiable PNR booking reference. The premium version is recommended for strict-enforcement airports in Indonesia.

What is the difference between free and premium onward tickets?

The free version has a watermark and a generated booking reference. The premium ($7.90) provides a clean, professional PDF with a verifiable PNR that airline staff can confirm in their system — the version recommended for immigration checks at Jakarta (CGK).

Can I use an onward ticket from Bali for a visa application?

Yes. Indonesia embassies accept flight reservations as proof of intended travel when applying for a visa. The onward ticket from MyJet24 includes all fields embassies require: passenger name, route, dates, and booking reference.

Can I use an onward ticket from Bali for a Schengen visa?

Yes. All 27 Schengen embassies accept flight reservations as proof of travel plans. Generate an onward ticket on MyJet24 showing your departure from Bali to any Schengen destination with dates matching your visa application.

What happens if I arrive in Indonesia without an onward ticket?

Airlines may deny you boarding at check-in. If you reach Jakarta (CGK) immigration without proof of departure, officers may refuse entry, detain you, or return you on the next flight at your expense. A free onward ticket from MyJet24 prevents all these scenarios.

Do I need an onward ticket for Indonesia even with a visa?

Having a visa does not eliminate the onward travel requirement. Airlines check at boarding regardless of visa status because they are liable if you are denied entry. Immigration officers at Jakarta (CGK) may also verify your departure plans independently.

Do I also need a hotel booking for Indonesia?

For visa applications, most Indonesia embassies require both a flight reservation and proof of accommodation. MyJet24 offers a free hotel booking generator alongside the onward ticket tool. For airport immigration checks, usually only the onward ticket is needed.

When should I generate my onward ticket before travelling?

Generate your onward ticket 1–3 days before your departure or visa appointment. This ensures the booking reference is fresh and active when checked. Since MyJet24 generates tickets instantly, create a new one anytime at no extra cost.

Can I generate an onward ticket for any destination from Bali?

Yes. MyJet24 supports all international routes. Select Jakarta (CGK) or the nearest airport to Bali as your departure and choose any destination worldwide — including Schengen, US, UK, Asia-Pacific, and all other regions.

What if my Indonesia visa is rejected — do I lose money?

No. The MyJet24 onward ticket is free (or $7.90 for premium) and requires no actual flight purchase. If your visa is denied, you lose nothing. This is the key advantage over buying a $400–$1,200+ non-refundable ticket before knowing your visa outcome.

Can I change the dates on my onward ticket after generating it?

Yes. Return to MyJet24 and generate a new ticket with updated dates. There is no limit on how many tickets you can create. Always use a fresh ticket matching your current travel plans.

Is an onward ticket the same as a dummy ticket?

Yes, they refer to the same thing — a temporary flight reservation used as proof of onward travel. 'Onward ticket' emphasizes the immigration requirement, while 'dummy ticket' is the common term for the document itself. MyJet24 generates both under the same tool.

Can I use a bus or train ticket instead of a flight as onward travel from Bali?

If crossing a land border from Indonesia, immigration may accept bus, train, or ferry tickets as proof of departure. However, airlines at Jakarta (CGK) specifically require flight reservations. A MyJet24 onward ticket is the safest universal option.

Can I generate onward tickets for my family travelling from Bali?

Yes. Generate a separate onward ticket for each traveler. Each PDF must show the individual passenger name matching their passport. MyJet24 allows unlimited free ticket generation for your entire travel group.

"I originally used MyJet24 because I did not want to pay for a dummy ticket. That was the only reason. But what actually impressed me was how the PDF looked. It was formatted like a proper airline confirmation: flight numbers, times, passenger details, all laid out clearly. The Italian embassy in Hanoi accepted it without a word. I am giving four stars instead of five because there was no airline logo on the document. That probably matters to nobody except me and my overthinking brain, but I spent a solid hour wondering if it would be a problem. It was not."

"Submitted my Spain application through VFS Lagos this morning. I do not know if the visa will be approved yet. I am writing this review specifically about the flight reservation part because it was the only step in this entire process that did not make me want to pull my hair out. Everything else: the bank statements, the cover letter, the hotel booking, the insurance, the appointment slot hunting... painful. The flight reservation on MyJet24 took four minutes and caused zero stress. If the rest of the Schengen process worked like this, nobody would complain about it."

"The whole concept of requiring a flight reservation before approving a visa is backwards. You are asking me to plan a trip I might not be allowed to take. The airline will not refund me if the visa is refused. The embassy knows this. Everybody knows this. But the requirement exists, so you play the game. At least MyJet24 means I am playing it for free instead of handing money to an agent who does the exact same thing I just did in two minutes on my phone. Lagos consulate interview went fine. Officer could not have cared less about the flight document."

"B1/B2 interview at the Amman embassy. The officer asked one question about my travel dates. I pointed to the MyJet24 printout. He moved on. Entire interaction around the flight: five seconds. Visa approved. There is nothing complicated about this. You need a document, this gives you one, it is real, it works."

"I am the kind of person who reads the entire terms and conditions page before clicking accept. So naturally I spent twenty minutes examining the MyJet24 website before I trusted it enough to enter my passport number. Then I spent another fifteen minutes cross checking the booking reference on the airline website, then on CheckMyTrip, then on a third verification site I found on Reddit. Everything matched everywhere. The Canadian embassy in Ankara processed my visa without asking about the flight. Four stars because my personality will not allow me to give five stars to anything I have not used at least three times."

"Schengen visa number seven using MyJet24 reservations. Italy twice, France three times, Spain twice. Never once questioned by any consulate. I stopped thinking about flight reservations as a task somewhere around application number four. It takes less time than making coffee. The fact that I used to block lakhs on refundable tickets and wait weeks for refunds feels genuinely embarrassing in hindsight."

"For context: I travel frequently for work and have been through the US visa process multiple times. The flight reservation has always been the lowest-value, highest-annoyance part of the paperwork. MyJet24 eliminates that friction point entirely. The output is clean, the booking reference validates against the airline system, and the turnaround is measured in minutes, not hours. I have recommended it to several colleagues. Each of them had the same reaction I did: why did nobody tell me about this sooner."

"My brother has been in Toronto for six years. Six years. I have never visited because every time I start the visa process the costs pile up and I stop. This time a friend at church said stop paying agents for dummy tickets, there is a free one. I did not believe her. But she was right. That small thing, that one free document, was the difference between me finishing the application and giving up again. I am writing this from Pearson Airport. I made it."

"Everything about the actual ticket was good. My problem is that I generated it at 2am Manila time and then could not sleep because I kept wondering if I had entered my middle name correctly. There is no way to edit or regenerate without starting over completely. I ended up generating a second one just to be safe. Both worked. But a simple edit button or a preview screen before final generation would save people like me a lot of unnecessary 3am anxiety."

"My husband wanted to book actual flights before the visa was approved. I said that is insane, what if they refuse us and we are stuck with nonrefundable tickets to Paris. He said they offer refundable fares. I said have you seen what refundable fares cost on Air France in July. We argued about it for a week. Then my sister sent me the MyJet24 link and said you are both overthinking this. She was right. Generated two reservations, submitted them, got the visas, then booked the actual flights on a sale fare that was half the price of the refundable ones my husband wanted. I have not let him forget this."

"Ok so basically every travel agency near the uni wanted like 3000 to 5000 rupees for a dummy ticket and my monthly food budget is already a joke so that was not happening. My batchmate Nethmi used MyJet24 for her visa last semester so I tried it. Colombo to Frankfurt return. Done. The booking reference thing was legit when I checked. Took the printout to the German embassy. Got the visa. Nethmi gets full credit for the recommendation. MyJet24 gets credit for existing. My wallet gets credit for not losing another 5000 rupees."

"When you work remotely and move countries every few months, visa applications become part of your routine the way grocery shopping is part of other people's routines. You learn which parts actually matter (bank statements, cover letter, insurance) and which parts are just procedural box-ticking (flight reservation). The flight reservation is a box to tick. MyJet24 ticks it. I have used it from Cape Town, Lisbon, and Bangkok at this point. Same result every time. It is not exciting. It is just reliable. And when you are mid-move with seventeen tabs open, reliable is everything."

"Let me tell you about the agent on Gulshan Avenue. He sits behind a glass counter, types your name into the same kind of website I found in two seconds on Google, clicks a button, prints a page, and charges you 4,500 taka. Four thousand five hundred taka for something that took him forty five seconds. I know because I watched him do it for the person before me in the queue. I walked out, went home, did it myself on MyJet24, and have been angry about almost paying that man ever since. The French embassy in Dhaka approved my visa in twelve days. The agent had nothing to do with it."

"I sat on my bedroom floor at midnight with my VFS appointment twelve hours away, laptop open, genuinely close to tears because the travel agent had closed for the day and I had no flight reservation. Then I found this site. Three minutes later I had one. I just sat there holding my phone looking at the PDF. That feeling of going from completely stuck to completely sorted in three minutes is something I will not forget for a while."

"Picture it. Jakarta traffic. 8:47am. I am in the back of a Grab car fourteen minutes from the Italian embassy. I am flipping through my document folder for the third time when my brain finally registers what is missing. No flight reservation. It is at home. On my laptop. Which is on my bed. Which is forty minutes away in Kemang. My hands are slightly shaky. I pull up MyJet24 on my phone. Fill in the details. Get the PDF. Email it to myself. Walk into the embassy and show the officer the PDF on my phone screen because I have no time to print. She squints at it, writes something down, hands my folder back. Four days later: approved."

"I have tried three different dummy ticket services over the past two years. One charged me $18 and the booking vanished within six hours. Another gave me a PDF that looked like it was made in Microsoft Paint. MyJet24 is the first one where the output actually resembles what you get when you book directly on an airline website. Not identical, but close enough that nobody at VFS Dubai looked at it twice. Four stars because I still think a confirmation with the airline logo would look more polished, but honestly that is me being picky."

"Two adults, two kids, four separate reservations needed for VFS Karachi. I made a spreadsheet to track the application documents for each family member. The flight reservation was the only row that filled itself in under five minutes per person. Every other row on that spreadsheet took hours. All four bookings had their own references, all four checked out. Two weeks later, four visas in four passports. The spreadsheet is now a template for next time."

"UPDATE: Coming back to change this from four stars to five. When I first wrote this review three weeks ago I was still waiting for the visa and was nervous about the reservation expiring before the embassy looked at my file. It did not. Visa came through yesterday for all four family members. The reservations were long expired by then but that does not matter because the embassy checks them at the time of submission, not weeks later. So if you are worried about the same thing I was: relax. File it and forget it."

"Got my passport back yesterday. Spain visa approved. Seven working days. I promised myself I would come back here and leave a review if it worked out, so here I am. First Schengen application. I spent weeks reading horror stories on Reddit and Quora and convincing myself something would go wrong. Nothing went wrong. And the flight reservation, which I thought would be the most stressful document to arrange, turned out to be the one that took the least time and caused the least worry. Thank you. Genuinely."
