Is a return ticket required for visa D?

At passport control in Italy, a return ticket is sometimes requested. For example, in Venice and Rome, some passengers were asked to show it, especially if it was in Russian. In such cases, it's better to have the ticket in English or a screenshot.

Some participants report that a return ticket is not asked for, especially if you have a Schengen visa. For example, one person flying from Yerevan to Venice faced no questions about a return ticket, possibly due to already having a visa.

It's important to remember that requirements may vary. Some were asked only for tickets to the EU and back, while others faced issues if their tickets were in Russian. It's advisable to prepare all documents in advance and have them ready.
