Hi,
I filed my Subclass 300 visa from the Philippines last February 2017 and got my visa approved April 2017.

I will be attending my CFO(Commission on Filipino Overseas) this Monday May 8 2017 and planning to fly on May 12-13 2017. Will the Philippine Immigration at the airport require me a return ticket or a one way ticket is enough?

My Fiancee(Aus Citizen) doesn't want to take the risk and she wants me to get a roundtrip ticket to be safe and avoid hassle at the immigration counter.

Thanks in Advance

Edit:
sorry wrong section of the forum ( I don't know how to delete my thread)



Visa Class : Subclass 300

Date Approved : April 2017

Philippines Immigration can always be a pain, but it should not be required, however you can never be totally sure.

A one way ticket is OK from the Australian point of view though. We did the PMV entry on a one way ticket, but not from Philippines.

But I am also aware of stuff ups at Manila. We avoided that problem by having a Visitor visa during the PMV wait, and bought a cheap Darwin to Manila 'throw away ticket' as the required return ticket on the visitor visa trip.

Yeah, I remember going to Thailand for a vacation and they have to stopped me for an extra interview. I guess it is best that I will just get a refundable return ticket to be safe and avoid all the pain.

Thanks

Check out the admin fees for Refundable tickets, make sure you don't lose too much.

Hi, how did you go with the CFO ?

Update;
Our experience: No return ticket required. PMV 300 Visa.
Tourist visa you need to have return ticket.

Yes PMV 300 should not require a return ticket at all, Phil Immigration will be more concerned that you have completed CFO course.
