Hi there,
I am planning on travelling to Europe as part of a several month round-the world trip. I know that as an Australian I can spend 90 days (out of 180) in the Schengen area without a visa, no issue there. But do I need a return ticket when arriving at my first point of entry? A little research tells me that it doesn't seem to be an issue for most people but is there a definate source? Common sense tells it should not be a problem as there are plenty of ways to leave via a land/sea border but I'd rather book a fully flexible ticket out to avoid any problems on arrival if this is indeed a grey area. My plans aren't final but I will probably fly into Germany or the Netherlands if that makes a difference.
Thanks for any advice!
