Can an American fly to Spain with a one way ticket? [closed]

Last September I flew into Paris with a one-way ticket, and nobody said a thing. Later I re-entered France by bus from the UK, and wasn't asked anything, either.

Spain and France are both part of the Schengen Area, and as such ought to have the same rules, so you shouldn't have any problem.

But it's still possible you might be asked about your travel plans. Although most likely, you won't need to provide proof of onward travel--people come and go out of the Schengen area by train and car all the time.

It's probably even less of a concern if you have a work visa, as they expect you to be living there.

If you're really concerned, you could buy a bus or train ticket out of the Schengen Area, and provide that as proof of onward travel. But if it were me, I would wait until I arrive in Spain. If they give you a hard time, order a ticket (assuming you can do so from your smart phone or something).

In fact, I will be doing exactly the same thing when I fly one-way to Spain at the end of July.
