Return Ticket
I need to book my flight to Sydney quickly as I'm due to start work there soon. I have a 457 4-year sponsored working Visa.

Whu would you want a return ticket. You'll be there for 4 years won't you?
Its not a requirement to have a return ticket.

Thanks for the swift reply sundarize.
Exactly what I thought, but I haven't seen anything in black & white to say that I can just buy a single ticket (or vice-versa for that matter).
None of the correspondance to/from the embassy mentions it either way. I just don't want to turn up at the airport & be turned back, it would be pretty expensive mistake.

The travel agent might ask you for details of your visa before selling you a one way ticket - it depends on the agent, but there is no requirement for a return ticket, in fact you can actually buy a one way when travelling on a visitors visa as well - you just need a decent reason why you are not buying a return - like you are not sure of which way you are leaving the country(?)
