Having a dummy ticket is step one — presenting it correctly to the embassy is step two. Here’s the proper way to submit your dummy ticket for maximum impact.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Print on clean A4 paper
For in-person submissions, print your dummy ticket PDF on clean white paper. Avoid color distortion or low-quality prints.
2. Place in the correct order
Insert the dummy ticket in the travel documents section of your application, alongside hotel bookings and insurance.
3. Ensure date alignment
Your dummy ticket dates must match your visa application form, hotel bookings, travel insurance, and cover letter.
4. Prepare for questions
If asked during an interview, explain that you have a confirmed reservation and plan to purchase the ticket after visa approval.

- Have the PNR code ready if the officer asks about it
- Submit the original PDF — don’t modify or edit it
- For online applications, upload the PDF in the designated travel documents section
