| Feb 11, 2015 at 17:07 | comment | added | Relaxed | I don't really know, to be honest. The best would be to add all this info (that you are concerned about onward travel requirements, whether having money instead of a ticket is enough, whether it needs to be a return flight or simply a cheap ferry) to the question and hopefully someone who went there will provide more details. | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 17:05 | comment | added | Todd B. | @Gagravarr - Ferry to Malaysia should be quite cheap. That may be the most affordable workaround. | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 17:03 | comment | added | Todd B. | @Relaxed - Thanks for the info and the links. As of right now, I am looking only to buy a flight from the United States to the Philippines. 6 months later, if the Philippines requires me to buy my one way ticket while I am in the Philippines, that will work. | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 16:56 | comment | added | Relaxed | This discussion also suggests that there are some funky rules regarding one-way tickets originating in the Philippines. It might not be possible to buy them from your usual online agent. | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 16:53 | comment | added | Relaxed | @ToddB. It depends on the country, look up “onward travel + name of the country” on this site or elsewhere to find out. No matter what the rules are, having an actual ticket (return ticket to your permanent home is best, but failing that even merely a cheap ferry/bus out of the country) could be easier than trying to argue about bank details with some foreign official. | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 16:46 | comment | added | Gagravarr | Or buy a cheap ferry ticket to Malaysia that you later throw away! | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 16:43 | comment | added | Todd B. | Oh, okay. That makes sense. So, @pnuts , if I obtain a one-way ticket, but provide bank documents proving my ability to buy a return trip ticket in the future, I should be alright. Correct? | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 16:39 | comment | added | Todd B. | @Gagravarr That is a good idea, but I just wanted to know if there is a correct way of doing this, without having money tied up in other airfare that I will cancel down the road. Also, it sorta seems like I am gaming the system that way. | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 16:36 | comment | added | Gagravarr | Book a fully refundable one-way ticket home, then cancel later? | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 16:34 | comment | added | Todd B. | I believe it's related to visa requirements. I know how to obtain the travel visa, but I keep reading people needing round-trip airfare. I can't imagine that I am the only one that travels with an unknown return date. Does that make sense? | |
