Dummy tickets and onward tickets serve different purposes, though both are flight itineraries. A dummy ticket is for visa applications, while an onward ticket proves you’ll leave your destination country. Here’s how to choose.
Step-by-step
1. Identify your purpose
Are you applying for a visa (need a dummy ticket) or traveling to a country that requires proof of departure (need an onward ticket)?
2. Understand dummy tickets
Dummy tickets are flight itineraries used for visa applications. They show the embassy you have travel plans without buying a real ticket.
3. Understand onward tickets
Onward tickets prove to airlines and immigration that you plan to leave the country. Required for many one-way travel destinations.
4. Get the right document
Both are available through VisaFlightReservation for $15 each, with real PNR codes and instant delivery.
Tips
- For visa applications, get a dummy ticket (flight itinerary)
- For one-way travel, get an onward ticket showing your departure
- Some travelers need both — one for the visa and one for travel
- Both documents include PNR booking references
FAQs
What’s the difference between a dummy ticket and an onward ticket?
A dummy ticket is for visa applications (showing your planned travel). An onward ticket is for airlines/immigration (proving you’ll leave the country).
Do I need both?
It depends. If you’re applying for a visa AND traveling one-way, you may need both. For round-trip visa applications, a dummy ticket alone usually suffices.
Can I use one document for both purposes?
Sometimes. If your visa application includes a return flight, that reservation can also serve as your onward ticket.
