The flight requirement is one of the trickiest parts of a visa application. Buy too early and risk losing money; don’t have one and risk rejection. Here’s the smart approach.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Read the embassy checklist
Check exactly what your embassy requires — ‘flight itinerary,’ ‘booking confirmation,’ or ‘proof of travel plans.’
2. Choose a reservation over a ticket
A flight itinerary provides the proof needed without the financial risk of a purchased ticket.
3. Get your reservation online
Visit visaflightreservation.com/, enter your details, and receive your reservation with PNR code for $15.
4. Time it right
Get your reservation 1-3 days before your visa appointment to ensure it’s current and valid.
Pro Tips
- Different embassies use different terms but all accept reservations
- Timing matters — too early and it may expire, too late and you’ll rush
- Match your reservation dates with your other travel documents
- Keep backup copies in multiple locations
