A one-way trip to the sun, to your dreams of the craziest traveler, it's tempting is not it?Unfortunately, many countries require that you be in possession of an exit ticket upon arrival on their territory.And failing to present this one could be worth a refusal of entry, thus putting an end suddenly to your dreams of adventures.But do not panic, there are some tips to get around the rules!
WITH OR WITHOUT A RETURN TICKET?
Before knowing how to play the tightrope walker with the laws dictated by immigration services, it is already necessary determined if a one-way trip is really the best option A dilemma quite common when preparing for a cheap last minute flights from chicago to new delhi or a long trip.
The economic argument is often the one that tilts the balance on one side or the other.Indeed, for some routes,a one-way ticket can be more expensive than a round trip So, even if you know you're not going to use the return ticket, buying a return ticket could still be your best option.Fortunately, with the low-cost boom in Europe and Asia,this economic nonsense is slowly disappearing in these parts of the world.
For the world tour, more and more companies, alliances, propose solutions adapted to the Thurmond lists I'm not a specialist, but a simple Google search will provide you two weeks of reading, that I dare to imagine quality.
It is for long journeys, those that last more than 12 months - round the world or "simple" circuit on a continent - that the algorithm gets tough.Indeed, the maximum validity of a return air ticket can not exceed 12 months from the date of the outward journey.Even if the conditions indicate that the date of your return can be changed at any time without any expenses, this one will not be able to cross this famous limit of 12 months (1, 3 or 6 months on some inexpensive notes)
PLAY TIGHTROPE WALK ON MUDDY LAWS
Before clicking head down on the "buy" button, it is imperative that you take the time to inform you of the laws of the countries that you plan to visit regard to the entry of tourists into their territory in relationship with your nationality A simple email to the embassies / consulates and to the airlines concerned should be enough to know on which foot you will have to make the tightrope walker.I prefer email to the phone;it helps to keep a written record.
Two questions, relatively simple and direct, are to be included in your exchanges:
· Do I need to provide proof of exit?
· Is a ticket issued by a land carrier sufficient to prove the exit of the territory?
Unfortunately, in practice, things are more complicated than that.Indeed,the lack of information is such that I am convinced that the different employees, who are finally those who decide your fate, analyze in a different way the regularity or not of a traveler ... A big effort of homogenization of the practices must be done.
As a result, travelers seem to be dependent on those who will meet them at the baggage check-in counter, at the boarding gate and at the customs gate.It's Russian roulette.
You should also know that the airline, the one that has agreed to sell you a single, can, at the time of registration, already, you stick a big "stop" in your face The reason is simple: if the kind gentleman or the kind lady of the immigration service of the country that you are about to visit refuses you the entry because of the absence of a return ticket, the company will be in charge of bring you back to your country,at his expense, and will have to paya heavy fine.
Nevertheless, after spending a lot of time on the forums peeling the experiences of other travelers, I have the impression that the majority of airlines do not care.I would say that only one-third (extremely rough calculation!) Of the experiences I was able to read resulted in a check of one of the employees working for an airline.
But hey, it is still necessary to ensure his back for the few resistance and immigration services ... The tips come.Personally, they never asked me anything.I must have a good head ?!
