I have trouble sometimes with SRRV showing indefinite period of residency, airline check in clerks are not the brightest bulbs in the aviation industry sometimes.

Posts: 40As someone having dual Japanese-Filipino citizenship and only owning passport of the former, I never had trouble with immigration / border control ever.
I have a tough time though, when leaving another country with Manila as my final destination. The check-in staff would always ask proof of my residency in the Philippines. Having no visa (because I am a citizen) nor passport (still stuck with bureaucracy), I always show them a paper issued by the PH Bureau of Immigration as proof of my citizenship. In Asian countries, they would simply nod when I present the paper, but in Europe it would take quite longer because they have never seen something like it. There was a time it took 15 minutes before they could check me in because they had to consult with their manager.

Posts: 984I have been into Singapore on the ferry from Indonesia several times, I never had onward ticket and just bought it in Singapore before return. This was for visa runs to renew my Indonesian visa. Only flwew in once without an onward ticket, I had a online ferry ticket but was never asked for it.
Just take an old ticket and Photoshop it. They never check the validity of the ticket, just that you have one. Only airlines ask, never been asked by immigration anywhere.
I worked in Haiti for a year, my co-worker was always hassled about his onward ticket but I never was asked. Flying into USA from Canada never asked for onward ticket.
Your country of citizenship might impact how much scrutiny you get.

China=they care.
Europe Schengen Zone=doesn't care if under 90 days.

I thought having an outbound ticket was standard for most countries needing a tourist visa, I had similar recently in Vietnam, I booked a bus online for $10 to Cambodia which they accepted.

All you need to do is show a return ticket (hard copy) so many use this web site.

So buy a budget ticket, get one from here for maybe $10-20 and you are set.
Buying a fully refundable ticket I know is super pricey and I only do that on business trios not mongering ones.

Posts: 62Use this trick
If a country needs an onward ticket to enter just buy a fully refundable ticket from one of the airlines. Once you land cancel the ticket. Have used this technique for 25 years.

If you have a long-term visa you can enter on a one-way ticket.
Tourist visa yes, you will need and be asked by PA and CEBU agents before boarding. But BB visa or SRRV you can enter on a one-way ticket.
Check AirAsia for low-cost tickets, sometimes $US30 to 35 to HGK.

Posts: 24Onward ticket still necesssary.
I had a one way ticket from the USA on United and the day before the departure, computer would not let me do on line check in. Fortunately, I had invested $40.00 on a cheap ticket from Manila to HK and ticket agent was asked by computer to confirm the onward ticket. Only after she confirmed, she was able to issue a boarding pass. It was all done promptly by a very nice lady at the airport.

She goes to her supervisor (she was not a Pinay girl from real PR Staff but an old nasty Indian lady from some Handling service at Changi Airport) and comes back with a "OK sir, here is your boarding pass".
