Dummy ticket for Schengen Visa

With a Schengen visa you can travel to more than 25 European countries with one visa. But the embassy has strict rules and required documents that can be intimidating without a clear guide. This is important to have your visa application approved without expensive delays whether you are visiting for tourism, business or family visits.

What is a Schengen Visa?

The Schengen Visa is a short-term visa that allows you to visit the Schengen Visa countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. For entry, Consulates require detailed proof of your travel intent, accommodation arrangements and financial means, with open borders between these member states.

Essential Document Checklist for Schengen Visa

Consulates have strict rules about documentation. Missing one item can cause the visa to be denied or delayed. The Name and Description of the Required Document: Old Passport The passport should be issued in the last 10 years, have at least 2 blank pages and be valid for at least 3 months from intended date of departure. Visa Application Form The application form must be filled out completely, accurately, and signed. Proof of Accommodation It directly refers to the hotel reservation, lease agreement, or an invitation letter from a relative or friend who lives in a country in which you apply for the visa. Flight Itinerary / Reservation Confirmation of your round-trip flight itinerary with dates and points of entry/exit and an active PNR in the system must be provided Travel Medical Insurance The insurance must be for at least €30,000 and include emergency healthcare services for any Schengen country. Proof of Financial Ability Documents that prove that you have adequate funds for your travel including recent bank statements (up to 3 to 6 months) and salary information.

Why You Shouldn't Buy Full Tickets Before Visa Approval

Embassies and consulates recommend that travellers do not buy non-refundable economy flights until they have received a visa approval. Full value flight tickets in some cases resort to high cancellation charges or loss of all the money if the visa has been denied or delayed.

Instead, embassies ask travellers to submit a verified itinerary (dummy ticket), with PNR of the Passenger Name record.

How to Apply Step-by-Step

  1. Determine Where to Apply: Identify the main destination country.
    Submit your application to the consulate of the country where you will spend the most days. If staying equal days, apply at your first point of entry.
  2. Put together a packet of reservation, financial, insurance and passport information. Get the documents you need, your confirmed flight itineraries, and the travel health insurance you require.
  3. Book an appointment Don’t forget to book your appointment on VFS or embassy official website. The sooner you book your biometrics appointment the better, ideally 4 to 6 weeks before your planned travel date.
  4. Attend your visa appointment and submit your biometrics and supporting documents.
  5. Submit your physical application bundle, complete fingerprint biometrics, and pay the visa processing fee.
