What is an onward ticket?

An onward ticket is a flight reservation or airline itinerary. It basically looks like a regular airline ticket with valid PNR / booking code or booking reference number. They are verifiable on the airlines websites if checked using the “Manage my booking” tool found on most airline websites.

What is an onward ticket used for?

The main use of an onward ticket is for proof of return (for one-way flight) to show at the immigration while traveling. That means you can show that you have fixed travel plans to leave the country which you’re hoping to enter. They won’t necessarily care where that ticket goes, just as long as it’s out of their country. In some countries, onward ticket is required by immigration, the airline at the check-in and won’t allow you to board the plane without it.

Which Countries Require The Onward Ticket?

Countries that absolutely require an onward ticket are Peru, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, U.S.A, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Cambodia, Laos, Brazil, Colombia, India, Costa Rica, Mexico and Panama.

Before you get too excited thinking that your destination won’t ask for an onward ticket, just know that even though it’s not in their laws, they probably will. As a precaution, always book an onward ticket before travelling to any country.
