San Juan Airport
BayCruiser
Yesterday at 09:38 PM
We'll be in the BVI 6/13-23, and our return flight (Jet Blue) was changed such that there is now a 6 1/2 hour layover in San Juan. We are hoping to clear customs, re-check our bags, then leave the airport for a late lunch in old San Juan.
Does anyone know if there is a problem with this plan?

Complete List: Countries Requiring Onward Travel Proof in 2026
Kasia W.
Yesterday at 07:55 PM
Compiled a master reference for anyone planning international travel in 2026. Here's what countries enforce onward travel proof:
• Strict enforcement (airline + immigration check): Indonesia, Costa Rica, Colombia, Panama, Philippines, Brazil, Peru, New Zealand
• Airline-level enforcement (carrier checks, immigration may or may not): Japan, Thailand, Mexico, UK, Schengen zone countries
• New for 2026: Several countries have digitized the verification process — e-gates now cross-reference your exit ticket with airline manifests automatically.
Full country-by-country list with specifics: https://onwardticket.global/countries-requiring-proof-of-onward-travel-2026-list

Costa Rica & Panama Exit Proof Requirements 2026
Raj P.
Yesterday at 07:52 PM
Planning a Central America trip and researched the exit-proof rules for Costa Rica and Panama:
• Costa Rica is one of the strictest countries for onward travel proof. Immigration requires a ticket out within your 90-day visa period, and airlines departing the US/Europe WILL check before boarding.
• Panama has similar rules — they want to see proof you're leaving within the permitted stay (usually 90 days). A bus ticket to Costa Rica works for land borders, but a flight is safer.
• Pro tip: If you're doing the Costa Rica -> Panama -> Colombia route, get a rental onward ticket that shows your flight out of Colombia. This covers multiple border checks in one document.

Anyone crossed between Costa Rica and Panama overland recently? How was the exit-proof check?

Colombia Entry Requirements 2026: Check-MIG & Flight Rules
Marco R.
Yesterday at 07:48 PM
Just returned from Colombia and wanted to share the latest entry intel for 2026:
• The Check-MIG form is still required — fill it online 1-72 hours before your flight. No Check-MIG, no boarding. Airlines verify this at check-in, not just immigration.
• Colombia immigration now routinely asks for proof of exit from the country. A flight reservation showing departure within your 90-day stamp is the easiest way to satisfy this.
• If you're doing the Colombia-Ecuador-Peru loop by land, have a bus ticket or hotel booking showing your exit plan — digital is fine but have it accessible offline.
Full guide: https://onwardticket.global/colombia-check-mig-flight-itinerary
Anyone done the South America backpacking route recently? How strict was Colombia on exit proof?
