Does Libya require proof of onward travel?
No blanket rule documented
🇱🇾 Libya doesn't publish a routine proof-of-onward-travel requirement for visitors — but that's not
the whole story: airlines can still ask on one-way fares, and border officers can always ask about your plans.
What that means in practice
Unlike the 57 destinations where an exit ticket is a documented entry condition, Libya leaves it to officer and airline discretion. The airline carries the fine if you're refused entry, so a check-in agent — budget carriers especially — can still ask how you'll leave, and an immigration officer can ask about onward plans, funds and accommodation.

What to carry anyway
A rough exit plan answers most questions before they're asked: know your likely route out, keep proof of funds reachable, and have your first nights' accommodation to hand. Libya admits citizens of 2 countries visa-free — see who can visit Libya →
