Bypassing 'onward travel tickets'
 

Hi
Currently collecting visa information etc for a trip up through East Timor / Indonesia / Malaysia / India from Australia.

I keep running into the 'onward flight / exit evidence required upon entry' headache.

I hit the same problem with last years trip to the states, basically I had to purchase an open ticket out of the country even though I was going to ride the bike out. I then canceled the ticket at a later date and sought a refund.

Will I have to have a demonstrated exit for every country???? For example freighting from Malaysia to India would be another possible opportunity for them to require it.

I realise a carnet will cover this problem bike wise and I intend to call the embassies tomorrow to ask directly, but I'm curious, what does everyone else do?

Kind regards

You tell them you are exiting overland .. use the carnet as evidence .. more evedence .. maps, route, plan of places you want to go/dates etc ..

For Maliasia to India you will need some way of geting there .. overland is not on .. so an air ticket will do that ..
