Dummy Ticket for Your Visa Application
A dummy ticket is a flight reservation made in your name that shows your planned route and dates, without buying the ticket. Many visa applicants use one because consulates often ask for proof of onward or return travel, while buying a non-refundable fare before the visa is approved is risky. DummyTicket.shop places the reservation and emails you the confirmation.

What a dummy ticket is not
It is not a paid ticket and cannot be used to board a flight. We never create fabricated booking numbers or edited documents. If an embassy asks for a fully paid ticket, you will need to buy one.
