A one-way ticket is a ticket that allows a passenger to travel only to their destination, without returning. Although buying a one-way ticket is pocket-friendly, there are certain situations or circumstances that warrant you to buy a roundtrip ticket if you do not want your trip to be cancelled or have a bad experience , i discuss the situations you should not buy a one-way ticket.

Visiting visa

Whether you are visiting a friend or a family member, you should buy a roundtrip ticket because you have to return to your home country. This is because you do not have the legal requirements to stay. So, if you do not want to live like a fugitive, it is advisable to book a two-way ticket.

Not a visa-free country

Nigerians have the opportunity to travel to about 45 countries around the world without a visa. Some of these countries include Bangladesh, Cape Verde, Chad, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Barbados and Benin Republic among others. If it is not a visa country, do not book a one-way ticket.

Student visa that is less than one-year

It is relatively 'easy' to be granted a student visa when compared with other forms of visa. This said, if your student visa is less than one year, it is best to purchase a roundtrip ticket. This may be due to the fact that your educational pursuit in your country of destinations will end within a year.

Work permit less than a year

A work permit is a permission to take a job within a foreign country. If you get this approval and it is less than a year, you should just buy a two-way ticket to avoid any immigration hiccups.

You are not permanent resident/citizenship

It is easier for a permanent resident or citizen to travel in and out of a foreign country without being challenged. But questions will be raised if you are not a permanent resident and you are presenting a one-way ticket. The airport officials will think that you want to abscond when you arrive at your destination and they may not allow you to board or travel.

In most cases, one way ticket is not pocket friendly like you said almost the same price as a round trip ticket.

Hmmm.....really?...after you arrive at your destination. I learn something today.

I have not yet confirm the years it will take for a round trip ticket or a two way ticket will expire but you can deposit your return ticket money in a bank account with a mastercard and visacard then you can buy your ticket whenever you need it.

This is call Multiple Leg. You still need a return ticket. And that will be from your final destination say country B.
Example - LAGOS - LONDON - PARIS - LAGOS.

Anyway, the airline will not even fly you except you have a return ticket. Except you have a student visa above a year or you are a resident of the country you are flying to. Else, the airline will be charged.

Why should I buy a land from an illiterate

I am surely buying a one way ticket to heaven....


No plans to return to this sinful world......

Basic travelling rules. Some people get turned back by border officials if you're in the above category and you have a one way ticket.
I mean, it leaves more room for suspicion that you would default on your visa.

Why for Visa free country. Need more explanation

Op one way ticket is not pocket friendly o as you said. its advisable you book a return ticket. its cheaper and makes your journey legit.
