What are dummy tickets And can you use them for a visa?

 

Dummy tickets have become increasingly popular in recent years. Some even claim they can be used in visa applications, while others maintain they are mainly used for pranks. With so many different claims flying around, it’s understandable why people become confused.

In this article, we’ll explore what dummy tickets are, where you can buy them, and how to use them for a visa application. So, if you’re looking to purchase a dummy ticket, or you need to make a visa application soon.

Dummy Flight Ticket:

First, let’s establish what comprises a regular flight ticket. A flight or airline ticket is a confirmation that a seat has been booked on a plane. It will contain the flyer’s name, the flight name, their Booking ID, and details of the flight including departures times, airport IATA codes and more. It will also contain the price of the ticket.

In contrast, a dummy flight ticket only shows the itinerary of a round-flight trip. However, it is not a fake ticket. A dummy ticket will list a reservation code and valid PNR (passenger name record), which is verifiable through the airline website (Schengen Visa Itinerary) through which you already have a booking. Therefore, whilst it can’t be used to get you to your destination, it can be used as proof of onward travel at an airport.

The guys from Schengen Visa Itinerary can handle most of your visa requirements, such as flight itineraries, Travel Insurance and hotel reservations.

Now we know what a dummy ticket is, can they be used for visa travel?

Yes. Dummy tickets can be used for visa applications, particularly when entering the Schengen zone. When applying for a visa, it can be costly, with many documents needing to be provided. However, despite all the effort you go to, you can still be rejected. Therefore, dummy tickets offer a cost-effective means of applying for a visa, without wasting money on a flight if your application is denied.

The dummy ticket contains all the relevant information the embassy needs—for instance, flight details, PNR, your details, and any onward travel.
