Hi guys ,

I'm just applying for my visa then hopefully I can extend for the over 50 retirement visa while over there as iv been told is the process. 

Do I need to provide an onward flight ticket or will I be OK to just book a one way 👍

Answer summary

The discussion indicates that for the NON-O visa, it is acceptable to book a one-way ticket. Several users confirm that an exit ticket is not required, although airlines may request it. One commenter also noted they opted for a return ticket for personal reasons and found the price difference was minimal.

When I did mine I did do a return ticket ( more for the airline and myself) and there wasn't a lot of difference in price for one way

Non-O you don't need exit ticket. Airline might ask but show them your visa.
