One way or return?
A guy at work is just about to head off to NZ. He has a 6 mths working visa and will shortly be granted his PR. However he was told he required a return ticket due to not yet having his PR.
My question is when my parents head out on a CPV (173) 2yr temp visa, will they have to purchase a return ticket or will a one-way be ok?
I think a one-way should be ok but wondered if anyone can confirm this.
Cheers

Re: One way or return?
OOOOoohh i never even thought of this!!!
I'm leaving the UK on monday 4th December with a one-way ticket to Sydney. I have a prospective marriage visa in my passport and i know its not permanent yet until we get married and i apply for the spouse visa - what effect is this gonna have on my leaving in 10 days?
Am i gonna get stopped when i arrive in australia?
I have a stopover in San Francisco too.
Didn't get a return ticket coz not planning to come back for at least a year or so - after we get married in June 07 i'll be putting the spouse application in straight away - my pmv runs out in August 07.
I have a letter from the celebrant saying when our wedding is so they can see i'll have enough time to apply for my spouse visa - shall i make sure i take that in my hand luggage?
I'm all scared now - panicking again!
Pollyanna maybe you'll know the answer to this?

Its a visa which leads to PR, not a visa which requires you to leave Australia again after a certain time.And if it makes you feel any better, the vast majority of Pros Marriage Visa holders ont he forum have come on one way tickets.
You'll be fine. Try to relax and enjoy - easier said than done, I know, but you've worked hard for this, nows the time to get some enjoyment out of it
