Should i earn more than a flight ticket before going to euro countries, America and Austria?

My relative had problem while visiting Austria,just simply because he looks like going to work over there more than traveling.the flight ticket wasted.I heard that they will check the person's financial status while entering the country,is it true?


Answer 1 :
They do not always your bank account, but if they suspect that you might want to work they will. And most young people run a good risk of being checked.
And when you fail to show enough funds and an onward or return ticket you might be put on the next flight home, the cost to be paid back later, at full fare.

Anyhow, you need much more than just the flight before you set out to travel. Even when you do have work visa, or working holiday visa, you will need enough money for a couple of weeks at least, and maybe a couple of months.
Better make sure you have enough money for your stay as tourist. Even when you do not use it, it will give you peace of mind, and can double as emergency funds. Leave it in your bank account, but take a bank card that allows you to take money out of the ATM.

And with the current worldwide economical situation, it is much more likely that you will not be able to get work whenever and wherever you want, so it is even more needed to start out with funds.

I always travel as tourist, but I have met a lot of people that did combine travel with work.
