What Is a Dummy Ticket for Visa?
A dummy ticket is a temporary flight reservation with a booking reference (PNR) that you can submit with a visa application or show as proof of onward travel without buying the full airfare. At DummyFlights it costs $15 per person, the PNR is valid for 48-72 hours, and date changes are free within the same day of booking.
What Is an Onward Ticket?
An onward ticket is proof that you plan to leave a country, usually a flight reservation out of it, which airlines at check-in or immigration officers may ask for. Read onward ticket rules and entry checks. If your checklist asks for a flight and hotel itinerary for the visa file, see flight and hotel reservations for visa at BookForVisa, our sister site.
