If you are traveling to the Philippines, maybe you are confused about what type of airline ticket you must have.  A lot of people think that you have to get a round trip ticket or else you are not following the Philippine regulations.  Truth is, you are never required to have a round trip airline ticket!  They will never ask you for that, and it is not something you need to worry about.  But... it is also a fact that you may not be allowed to fly to the Philippines with a one way ticket!  Sound like a contradiction?  Actually it is not, and I will explain it in today's Expat Answerman Podcast.

The truth is, what type of airline tickets you do need is determined 100% by what type of visa you have, or will obtain when you enter the Philippines.  It is a topic of great confusion among people traveling to the Philippines whether it is for permanent living or for just a short vacation.  But, if you listen in today, I will clear it all up for you and help you make sure that you will make a legal arrival in the Philippines.

You sure don't want to be turned away from entering the country when you arrive, and if you don't have the type of tickets required, based on your visa, you might just be turned away, and be required to be on that plane when it takes off instead of having fun in the Philippines.  But, with a bit of explanation, it is not that difficult to understand, so listen in!
