Common Questions
Can I use a dummy ticket?
Use reservations with real PNR numbers. Completely fake tickets (no valid PNR) can be detected and may cause rejection.
Do I need confirmed tickets?
No! A reservation/itinerary is sufficient. Embassies understand you don't want to risk money before visa approval.
What if my reservation expires before interview?
Get a new reservation closer to your appointment date. Keep it valid on submission day.

More Questions
How do I get a flight reservation without paying?
(1) Use an online travel agent that offers reservation-only documents; (2) Use a dedicated "dummy ticket" service that provides a real PNR from a genuine airline. Always use services that provide a verifiable PNR — not fabricated documents.
Does the entry country have to match my visa?
Yes. If you’re applying for an Italian Schengen visa, your first point of entry into the Schengen Area should be Italy. Your outbound flight should land in an Italian airport. Entering through a different Schengen country is possible but may flag as inconsistent with your application.
What if I’m flying via a connecting Schengen airport?
Connections within the Schengen Area (e.g., landing in Amsterdam then connecting to Paris) are fine — you will clear passport control at the first Schengen airport (Amsterdam in this case). Your intended destination is still Paris. The reservation should show the full itinerary including the connection.
