How do you get a “dummy” flight reservation for tourist visa application? Really confused how to do it without paying for a ticket in case the visa is not approved

You buy a ticket and print out the itinerary. A) Buy a fully refundable ticket or b) cancel within 24 hours (airlines are required to refund you if you cancel within 24 hours).

If you try to photoshop a ticket, you could have bigger problems. What country is this for? Lots of countries say it’s a requirement these days but they rarely check.

like

It’s for Turkey and the 24hour cancellation doesn’t apply because the flights are originating and ending from outside the US 🫤

like

If it’s a US based airline, the 24 hour rule applies regardless of departure origin. If it’s a European airline, check their rules, but they’re probably at least 24hours, maybe more — they take passengers’ rights much more seriously there. You can book through a 3rd party site (orbitz, Travelocity) and I think they allow you to have a refundable option for like a week or something if you pay a couple dollars extra.

like

This is generally not the case. The vast majority of European flight tickets are nonrefundable immediately after purchase. Generous European passenger rights described here are mainly applicable for delayed, canceled, disrupted flights.

like

Purchase a refundable ticket or trip insurance that covers it?

Ask a travel agent for one.

Thanks all! I was able to actually book one through the chase travel portal which allows 24 hour cancellation. Hope this helps others too!
