How it works
- Check requirements
Pick your destination and visa type to see the documents you need. - Plan your trip
Enter your planned flights and stays. Download a tidy itinerary PDF. - Write your letter
Generate a cover letter that ties your documents together. - Book only when needed
If a real reservation is required, use a free hold or refundable fare.
Why not buy a "dummy ticket"?
Paid dummy-ticket sites charge $5–$25 for a PDF that looks like an airline ticket. Visa officers see these every day. A document that pretends to be a booking but isn't one can count as misrepresentation, and that can mean refusal or even a ban. Most consulates ask for a travel plan or reservation, not a paid ticket. An honest plan costs nothing.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a flight ticket to apply for a visa?
Usually not. Schengen consulates, the UK, and the US all advise against buying non-refundable tickets before your visa is approved. Most ask for a travel itinerary or a reservation. Read our flight itinerary guide for details.
Is the itinerary PDF a flight ticket?
No, and it doesn't pretend to be. It's clearly marked as a planned itinerary. That's the honest way to show your travel plans, and it's what many consulates ask for.
What if the embassy requires a verifiable reservation?
Some do. Many airlines let you hold a fare, or cancel for free within 24 hours. Hotels with free cancellation work the same way. See the free flight hold guide.
