What is proof of onward travel?
Proof of onward travel is documentation that shows you have a planned way to leave your destination country, usually with a return flight or onward flight reservation.
Travel Documents
Proof of onward travel
Airlines and immigration teams may ask for proof that you plan to leave your destination country. A verified onward flight reservation gives you a real airline reservation code and PDF itinerary without paying the full ticket price upfront.
When travelers are asked
The check usually happens before boarding, especially when the destination country expects a return ticket or onward flight. Airlines verify documents early because they can be responsible if a traveler is denied entry after arrival.
What usually works
- A flight reservation or ticket showing the traveler name.
- A route leaving the destination country within the allowed stay.
- An airline reservation code and dated itinerary that can be reviewed at check-in.
