Hi All.

I'm going to be bringing my mother in law back with me when I go on hols in Oct.She has a 3 year family visit visa and usually I get her a return ticket but this time I would like to get her a one way ticket then buy another one way ticket to go back.we haven't quite decided when she will return and as circumstances are just now it would be more beneficial to have 2 x one way tickets rather than a return(I have looked at many prices for many tickets)

I know I could go down the route of buying an expensive one way from UK back to Phils and just cancel it for a refund but I'm always going to lose something so my question is Does immigration ALWAYS require a return ticket when leaving Phils?I mean do they ask every single time?
Is there any circumstances where they would look the other way?
Does it make a difference if I'm travelling with her?

My airline said they have no problems accepting her with a one way ticket and UK immigration don't require a return ticket.

Someone must know something about this or know of people who has experienced this odd rule of law.

Thanks
