Requirement of both inlet and outlet depends on quite a few things.
In Europe - homes heated by natural/earth gas central heater (sometimes also provides hot water) usually require "mechanical ventilation" - which is just a box with efficient fan that's always running and exhausting at least a little bit of indoor air, and you crank it up when cooking/showering/etc, as well as some form of grill/grate/opening to let outside air in.
It's not only because of using gas for cooking/heating - officially it's also to make sure your house doesn't build up too much of things like Argon that's creeping in from your crawl space/basement/etc.
For example Velux slanted ceiling/roof windows have that ventilation option built in where you can close/lock the window, but still allow fresh air (and no bugs/mosquitos) in.
Otherwise it's either some sort of ventilation grill on your windows/doors, beeing able to slightly tilt/crank some windows, cutout/opening for mail in your front door...
Or any other place where your house is not hermetically sealed :)
