Hi i am leaving to Australia on the 23 of this month and i have my working holiday visa but only have a one way ticket. Will i be able to enter the country with a one way ticket, because i have no clue how long i will be in Australia for so thats the reason why i did not book a return. I dont think there will be a problem but just wanted to double check.
Thanks
Answer 1 :
Our immigration people know how difficult it is to get an open return and how expensive it is to change bookings so you definitely don't need a return ticket when you come on a working holiday visa. You will however be expected to have access to enough funds to pay for one in addition to the approx. AUD$5000 that is required to ensure that you have enough to tide you over your initial stay and any periods of unemployment.
Answer 2 :
I would be very careful about this one and provide plenty of evidence that you have no intention of outstaying your visa. The Australian Department of Immigration states that to be eligible for the Visa:
You must have access to sufficient funds to support yourself for the initial stage of your holiday. Generally, AUD$5000 may be regarded as sufficient, but the amount may vary depending on your length of stay and the extent of your travel. You should also have a return or onward ticket or the funds for a fare to depart Australia.
You may be asked to provide evidence. Evidence may include a certified copy of a bank statement and an air ticket out of Australia.

As the other answerers have suggested it is possible to get through without the onward ticket but you are taking a big risk that they won't let you through.
Answer 3 :
I did it with no problems. Might be worth printing off your e-mail or whatever else you have as proof. If it was an electronic visa then it's a good idea to get a paper version after you land. It's available for free from immigration offices and some employers will need to see it.
