How to Book a Flight Itinerary for Visa Application?

Especially when the applicant cannot quite understand what he or she is precisely asked to submit, the type of the document, where he or she should obtain it, and what to do in order to receive it.

Depending on the embassy/consulate, this document might be referred to by different names as:

On social media and discussion boards, people might also refer to as:

• Dummy Air Ticket
• Dummy Ticket for Visa Application
• Air Ticket Booking, etc.
