Hey,

I am sorry if this has been asked, but was wondering if people knew how Mexico feels about one way plane tickets?

I am Australian.

At the moment I am basically planning to work under the table but am aware I will get issued the 180 day visa thing right?

If I can get in on a one way ticket, will they need proof of funds? And how would I actually prove that to them other than actually having the cash?

I've never seen anyone have an issue with a one-way ticket entering Mexico.

However, I have heard of Australians having trouble getting through a US airport with a one-way ticket, despite terminating in a Mexican city. Best check with the airline you'll be flying with.

Yes, as a matter of course.

Coming in as a tourist, they won't ask about proof of funds.

This really doesn't sit well with me. What's Australia's take on Mexicans working illegally there?

Actually yeh it needs to be qualified on the basis that I will be trying my hardest to get a job secured before I come over but from what I have heard this is fairly difficult.


I was having a think and realised it might be possible to buy a fully refundable ticket back to AUS and then it get it refunded once I am in Mexico - Anyone heard of a strategy like this?

Have wondered that myself. Advice is one thing. Untrue and inflamatory comments are not really helpful to anyone.
