Do I need to show my return ticket to board the plane at Guangzhou airport to go to the Philippines?

It's August 20 19. Let me revise my answer ten years ago. The topic may not be needed, but I hope it can help others to some extent.

Regarding the subject's question, whether it is necessary to show the return ticket and cash is based on the requirements of the immigration offices of various countries. The fundamental purpose is to ensure that you will come back and not get dark there. Usually, the more developed countries or regions, the stricter the requirements, because illegal immigration should be controlled.

Usually, the documents that can prove that you will return as scheduled and have sufficient financial capacity to support this trip mainly include:

Round-trip air tickets (required by most countries) can be purchased in advance according to their travel plans and the length of stay allowed by visas, which is usually more cost-effective than buying only one-way tickets/buying air tickets soon after returning. Generally, it is needed at the visa application stage. Because you only have this boarding pass when you board the plane, you can't get the return ticket, so the airport generally doesn't need to check your return ticket. If necessary, you can print an electronic order for travel itinerary or return ticket.

Hotel reservation information. This is to prove that you have a legal residence during your stay, and at the same time limit your stay from where you stay.

Travel plan. When I went to New Zealand diy to apply for a visa, I was asked to submit a travel plan. The materials were complete and almost signed in seconds, which was very smooth.

Sufficient proof of cash or deposit. This is generally a random inspection. When some small partners leave the country, they are drawn by the customs for capital verification. They need to prove that they have a certain amount of RMB or equivalent foreign currency. One way to prove this is to show your deposit certificate, and some of them will also carry a certain amount of cash with them, which is also convenient for food, shelter and travel after landing. Generally, 3000 to 4000 yuan in cash is enough. It should be noted that some countries have a ceiling on cash, and it is illegal to carry cash in excess! Just make a little guarantee that you just landed and have the money to take a taxi to eat!

The man also asked some questions about the validity of passports and return tickets.

# Passport Validity # Please ensure that your passport is valid for more than 6 months before you leave the country, so as to ensure that you always hold legal and valid identity documents while you are abroad. Generally, you should take the initiative to apply for a new passport in the last year of passport validity, so as to avoid the temporary need to go out but the documents expire and delay the trip. Target denied boarding. This is a very heavy lesson!

# Validity of return ticket #? A ticket only corresponds to a specific flight, so be sure to pay attention to the date and time of your return ticket! If you miss it, it will be invalid!

If you are really not sure when to return to China, you can actually tell the truth about your situation when asked by the customs staff, and provide sufficient proof of funds and/or proof of your work and assets in China, so as to show that you will definitely return to China although you have not set a date for returning to China. This is feasible!

Finally, you must carefully check the relevant entry and exit requirements of your destination online before you travel. Generally, there will be detailed instructions and guidelines on the official website of your government or immigration bureau. Be sure to abide by the local laws of the destination and avoid unpleasant conflicts during the trip! (For example, it is strictly forbidden to carry any meat products, seeds, animal and plant products and specimens in New Zealand, and there should be no dirt and dew on outdoor products. The customs will really check it very strictly. If you don't take the initiative to declare, it is a problem of fines and serious criminal detention. )
