Are return tickets required in the Philippines and will they be checked?

Yes, return tickets or tickets to any other country are mandatory when entering the Philippines, and they are indeed checked. The check is random, but if tickets are not available, entry may be denied.

Features of return ticket checks:

• They check during check-in at the departure airport
• The departure date must fall within the visa-free stay period (up to 30 days)
• If there is no ticket, you may not be allowed to board the plane

If you plan to stay longer, there are several options:

• Buy a refundable ticket with minimal penalties
• Purchase the cheapest non-refundable ticket to a neighboring country
• Explain to the border officer plans to extend your stay

At passport control, border officers usually do not verify the validity of bookings, so some tourists use edited versions of tickets, although this method is risky.
