no shit.

yeah I know that,but still 100% pointless. Just because someone has a ticket, does not mean they are going to use it. So entirely stupid. I think there is an R word that describes a situation when something is continued to be done even though it in no way ensures or achieves the desired outcome.

Yep again another post that points out how stupid and useless the whole ticket entry system is. It achieves nothing buts wastes so many peoples time and money.

@Mitchell ******

it’s actually a requirement of most countries, that may at times be enforced, if they want. Still a stupid pointless rule, that does not achieve one single thing.

@Henrik ****

I understand the situation, but I don’t see why there is this situation, just because someone does or does not hold a ticket they may or may not use. It’s commonly called ridiculous. There is another R word, but Facebook doesn’t like it. Having a ticket out-in a months time does nothing to help this situation you mention either.

This onward ticket thing is always a gamble. Mostly it is the airline who asks. No guessing why, they are the ones making money out of it. Yes I understand it may be enforced by the country you are visiting, but I hate systems/ rules that have no point at all to them. Just because someone has a flight, does not mean they are going to get on it. And it stuffs up responsible travellers flying by the seat of their pants so to speak and making decisions closer to the time they will be required to exit the county. I for one would love it if they did away with it altogether. Make huger penalties for those who overstay.

@Ann *************

I am hearing you. It is a big gamble if they do ask.

@Richard ********

most places require you to have the onward ticket to get the visa in the first place. And from my last 3 visa exempt entries, no one asked to see an onward ticket, airline or immigration.

@Ann *************

still a retarded system though. If there is n point to having one why make it mandatory? It serves no purpose. Don’t have it.

@Anita *****

yeah I find the same. Most countries need an outward ticket within the 60 day visa, but if you are going to extend to 90 days this ticket is then useless. They won’t accept one booked at 90 days even though they are aware you can extend your stay. Stupid really.
