Traveling on one-way tickets
Although I intend to comply with length-of-stay limits, I don't want to
pre-plan anything. If I arrive in a Schengen country on a one-way ticket, what kind of proof do I need that I am solvent enough to buy a ticket out? -- Wes Groleau |

I have always had return tickets when I arrived, but I don't remember ever having been asked to prove that I had them. |

I have always had return tickets when I arrived, but I don't remember ever having been asked to prove that I had them. I was definitely asked in Wales last June, and in that case I did have a ticket out, but they still gave me a hard time about whether I was solvent enough for the ten days till the flight. But since you mention it, this time I start in Spain, and the last time I was there they didn't ask. -- Wes Groleau |

The problem might arise before you even get there, when you want to check in for the flight. We had that problem once going the other way (Europe-Mexico) and the checkin clerk said we needed a return ticket in case we were refused entry and the airline would have to fly us back. Just following orders of course. |

Traveling on one-way tickets
If I arrive in a Schengen country on a one-way ticket, what kind
of proof do I need that I am solvent enough to buy a ticket out? All British passengers going to continental Europe by Ryanair fit that description. There's no problem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

Seems like your answer would not apply to American passengers going to continental Europe by KLM. (or Mexicans/United or ....) -- Wes Groleau |

But it is in the EU and its citizens have freedom of movement within the EU. No proof of length of stay required. Not so for Americans. -- K. Lang may your lum reek. |

The passport check is just a formality. Not really the check is to filter out Non-EU members too The thoroughness of the check depends on whether the check is at an airport, or ferry terminal or land boundary. When I took the ferry from Portsmouth to France in 2002, I stayed at the railing to watch the ship approach the dock. Then discovered everyone already departed and it took a while before I found my way out through the ship's loading dock. No one cared. A similar situation existed when I visited Ireland. Between the Republic and UK sides of Ireland, there was no border controls. -- Dan Stephenson http://stepheda.com Travel pages for Europe, USA, New Zealand and Japan |
