Frequently asked questions
What travelers ask before ordering
Is a flight reservation for a visa application legal?
Yes. A flight reservation is a genuine hold placed in an airline system through a GDS, exactly like a travel agency creates before a client pays. It is a legitimate travel document, unlike an edited PDF with no booking behind it.
Do embassies accept a reservation instead of a paid ticket?
Most consulates ask for a "flight itinerary" or "reservation" and explicitly advise against buying a ticket before the decision. A verifiable reservation with a real booking reference answers that requirement. Always follow the official checklist for your specific visa.
Can the embassy verify the booking reference?
Yes, and that is the point. The reservation carries a real PNR that a visa officer can look up on the airline’s "manage booking" page. You can check it yourself before you submit your file.
How long is the reservation valid?
The hold stays live for the window the airline allows, which typically covers the standard visa processing period. If your appointment is far off, create the reservation close to the submission date.
Reservation vs buying a real ticket — which should I use?
If the official instructions require a paid ticket, buy one. Otherwise a temporary reservation documents your itinerary without risking a few hundred euros if the visa is delayed or refused.
