Do I need a return ticket?

Yes — immigration or the airline may ask for a return or onward ticket within your permitted stay, as well as proof of funds.

Do I need travel insurance?

It isn't an entry requirement, but it's important — private hospitals are expensive, especially if you're diving or riding scooters.
