Is a return ticket a MUST??

Widelats

Please bear with me if i am asking stupid questions, i have never been abroad before.

I want to go abroad, in the EU, but i do NOT want to buy a return ticket, can i buy a 1 way ticket and not get asked questions of "What is your business here??" and "Why no return ticket??"

Obviously, i do not want to come back to the UK, and i will do anything to remain abroad, but i do not believe i could tell their airport/security staff that, or could i tell them that if i am a EU citizen myself, and have freedom of movement?

Of course you can tell them that - though they are rather unlikely to ask. You can stay anywhere in the EU for as long as you'd like.

No. You have just as much rights to live in France as you do to live in Scotland.

well thats not strictly true:

you need a valid passport to remain in France, im pretty sure you don't need that for Scotland.

as someone recently told me

"If you really think I'm going to blindly take the word of a random internet user making then you have another thing coming...

(sorry had to para-phrase that but thought it was somewhat apt)

I intend to look for work i will do anything i can get, that was very helpful, although where i am going it says i can only stay 3 months i just looked, but they are EU i should be able to stay there if i find work, but according to them i will also need a residence permit if i do find work.

I would say not all EU is the same.
