What is proof of onward travel?
Simple answer
Proof of onward travel is evidence that you plan to leave again — often a return or onward ticket — when entry or visa rules ask for it.
What it means
Short-term visitor settings frequently look for an exit plan. Long-stay visas may focus on other evidence instead. Airlines sometimes check onward tickets even when immigration wording is lighter.
What you may need to do
Check whether your product and airline require a ticket before you buy non-refundable fares. Some travellers use flexible bookings while a decision is pending.
Country / visa warning
Onward-travel expectations differ by destination and nationality. Confirm both immigration and carrier rules.
Next action
Read entry requirements for your destination and keep bookings aligned with your intended lawful stay.
