Tourist visa exit ticket

Welcome Aussiechick! (a welcome addition indeed!) I love your adventurous spirit. There is a lengthy discussion on this topic on the expatexchange forum, and the consensus is that you do need to have a return or onward ticket (in case they ask) but there are several options to reduce or eliminate the cost of that. check it out.

The cheapest onward travel may be one of the following...

1. Roundtrip ticket by air.  In some cases, buying a roundtrip ticket (even if you don't plan to use the return portion by the indicated date) is no more expensive, or only slightly more expensive, than buying a one-way ticket.  A one-way ticket also invites more scrutiny by the authorities.

2.  Bus travel.  Check the following sites for possible online purchase of a one-way ticket between border cities .. or to a border city.

The discussion that Sunset Steve is referring to is:  Showing return ticket out of Colombia

In there you will see this web site FlyOnward mentioned where you can rent a plane ticket. I never tried it but it seems a good option!

Good Luck

Fly Onward is widely reviewed on the Web as risky or scammy.

I suggest folks use one of the other methods until Fly Onward is better verified by actual satisfied users.

Thanks for your comment cccmedia!

I have flown in 5 times and only ad return tix  times. It has been easier to fly out when i need to to MIA and then figure things out. Pricing may be an issue depending wher you came from.
