A Travel Itinerary for Schengen Visa it is not much
more than a document of a detailed plan of your flight or travel journey to the
Schengen Area.
One of the Schengen visa requirements is to provide a
flight itinerary or flight reservation for your Schengen trip. A flight
itinerary is also called an air ticket booking, a flight confirmation, or a
dummy airline ticket for visa.
• Most of
the embassies around the world do not require visa applicants to Purchase a
flight or Accommodations
• Because
they know that in the event of a visa is refused, it will be sure that the
applicant will lose money.
• They
even indicate in the list of required documents, that the applicants are not
required to buy the tickets but only the flight reservation.
Among the documents that the embassy or consulate of
your country of destination in your home country of origin may ask you, for a
flight itinerary.
According to
the embassy, this document can be designated by different names:
• Flight itinerary
• Booking itinerary
• Flight itinerary booked
• Flight itinerary confirmed
• Booking of plane tickets
• Flight itinerary for visa application
• Flight reservation
• Flight confirmation
• Dummy Air Ticket for Visa
• Confirmed flight Reservation
• Roundtrip Flight Booking
For many, it may sound complicated or even confusing.
However, all of the above means only one SAME THING.
The travel
itinerary is a detailed flight plan to and from the destination
country for which you wish to obtain a visa.
This simple document contains:
• Your name,
• Airlines name and flight Number,
• A valid flight reservation number or
Reservation Code,
• Arrival date,
• Date of departure,
• IATA codes at the airport,
• Flights details, if you plan to visit more
than one country with the same visa e.g., Schengen Visa
In addition,
there is no need to pay for a flight ticket other than a minimum service or
processing fees to us.
After obtaining
your visa, you can simply buy the ticket you have reserved or cancel it and buy
others on more convenient dates, within the validity period of your visa.
Though, there are may be exceptions where embassies or
consulates in some cases will require you to purchase a round-trip ticket.
WHY
DO EMBASSIES AND CONSULATES ASK FOR IT?
All foreign missions in your country will not ask you
for a flight itinerary, but many will do so. While this may seem insignificant
to some, there are very good reasons why embassies require it.
• As proof
that you will not stay too long
• Decide
on the duration of the visa
• Decide
which embassy you should apply
The main reason that the embassy or consulate of your
destination country asks you for proof of booking reservation is that they want
to make sure that you will not exceed your visa and return to your home country
before it expires. Since the flight itinerary indicates departure and arrival
in your home country, this is a convincing document that you will return. This
means that you have to book a return flight reservation because otherwise your
booking would be meaningless.
HOW TO GET THE FLIGHT ITINERARY FOR ANY
VISA APPLICATION?
You
can get the flight itinerary in different ways.
One of them is to get refundable airline tickets,
which will be expensive and airlines charged an enormous fee or just buy a
flight reservation (Itinerary
for VISA) that is much cheaper.
The fact is
that most flight bookings last only 72 hours, while a confirmation of visa
application can take up to fifteen days.
Therefore, we had found a way to keep the flight
reservation booked for longer. You can do it in different ways depending on
your choice. Keep in mind that you should always book a return flight
reservation.
