Dummy ticket services: find the reservation your file needs
All our dummy ticket services on one page: one-way, return, multi-city, family, hotel and onward reservations, plus a table matching your situation to one.
Dummy Tickets Visa (DTV) sells one core product: a flight reservation held in the airline's system without paying the fare, with a PNR you can check on the airline's website. It costs ₹699 per passenger for one-way or return. The dummy ticket services on this page are versions of it for multi-city trips, families, hotel vouchers, onward travel and payment from abroad. None of them is a paid ticket.
Dummy Tickets Visa (DTV) sells one core document: a flight reservation made in the airline's system and held without paying the fare, with a PNR you can look up on the airline's website. Our dummy ticket services are versions of that reservation for different trips and different visa files. Find your situation in the table below, then open that page for the details.
For UK, US, Canada and Australia visitor visas, a flight booking is generally not a required document. The UK Home Office lists flight bookings among evidence that is "less useful", except for transit. Some applicants still include a reservation so the dates on the form and the cover letter line up. Our visa guides say what each country's checklist asks for.
Choosing the right service
Match your situation to a row. If your checklist simply asks for a flight reservation, the first row is all you need.
| Your situation | The document you need | The page |
|---|---|---|
| Your checklist asks for a "flight reservation" or "flight itinerary" | A one-way or return reservation with a PNR | Flight reservation for visa |
| Your appointment is tomorrow or the day after | The same reservation, typically delivered 10 to 20 minutes after payment | Urgent dummy ticket |
| You are travelling one-way, for study, work or relocation | A one-way reservation | One-way dummy ticket |
| Your file needs a dated flight home | A return reservation, priced the same as one-way | Dummy return ticket |
| You fly into one city and out of another, or cross several countries by air | A multi-city itinerary | Multi-city itinerary |
| The checklist asks only for proof of accommodation | A hotel reservation voucher | Dummy hotel booking |
| The checklist asks for both a flight and a hotel | A flight reservation plus a hotel voucher | Flight and hotel booking |
| You are applying with a partner, children or a group | One order for up to nine passengers | Family and group bookings |
| An airline or a visa-free country wants to see how you will leave | An onward reservation, or a paid ticket where the rule demands one | Onward ticket |
| You are paying from outside India | The same reservation, charged in US dollars | Pay with PayPal or card |
| A travel agent offered "ticket blocking" | What that means, and the same document ordered online | Blocked ticket for visa |
| You want to see the PDF before you pay | A sample of the document you would receive | Sample dummy ticket |
One caution on the onward row: a few rules ask for a ticket that has been paid for. New Zealand's visa-waiver page says "Your onward tickets must be paid for before your travel", and the US Visa Waiver Program requires a round trip ticket. A held reservation does not meet either rule; a refundable fare does.

The document is the same for every visa type; what changes is the question around it. A student may want to know whether a one-way booking is enough, and a business traveller whether the dates need to line up with an invitation letter. These five pages answer those questions for student, transit, business, family visit and work visas.
What every reservation includes
Every flight reservation we issue is a booking made in the airline's reservation system and held without paying the fare. It is not an edited or generated PDF, it is not a paid ticket, and it cannot be used to board a flight. Each one contains:
- Each passenger's name as printed in the passport, up to nine per order
- The airline, flight numbers, route and dates
- A PNR you can open on the airline's Manage booking page while the hold is live (see how to check a PNR)
- A PDF sent by email or WhatsApp, typically 10 to 20 minutes after payment is confirmed, or on the date you choose on the form
How long the hold stays live is set by the airline, and we do not publish a fixed validity period. Receive it the day before you need it, and check the PNR before you submit.
What differs between the services
Only the shape of the itinerary and what is attached to it. A one-way reservation covers the journey out; a return adds a dated journey home at no extra charge. Multi-city covers trips that fly into one city and out of another, or cross several countries. The hotel pages add a voucher for the city and the check-in and check-out dates you enter. The family page puts up to nine passengers on one order.
You choose the route, and the booking desk chooses the airline. You can name a preferred airline in the notes box, but it is a request, not a promise. If your trip mixes two services, such as a family on a multi-city route, pick the closest page and ask us on WhatsApp before you order.
Pricing across every service
A one-way or return flight reservation is ₹699 per passenger, for any route. Multi-city is ₹699 per two flights, per passenger, and a hotel voucher is ₹699 per hotel, per passenger. Outside India the same prices are charged in US dollars, about US$8.50 for each ₹699, by PayPal, debit card or credit card. Take a family of four applying with a return flight and one hotel: 4 × ₹1,398 comes to ₹5,592. Every price, with more examples, is on the dummy ticket price page.
How to order
Pick the page for your situation
Use the table above to confirm which document your file needs and what the form will ask for.
Fill in the booking form
On the booking form, enter each passenger's name as printed in the passport, date of birth, nationality, route, travel dates, your email address or WhatsApp number, and the date you want to receive the reservation. There is no passport scan and no account.
Pay by UPI, PayPal or card
Customers in India pay by UPI and send the payment screenshot on WhatsApp. Everyone else pays by PayPal, debit card or credit card. Orders are final once the reservation is issued, so check names and dates before you pay.
Receive the PDF and check the PNR
The reservation typically arrives by email or WhatsApp 10 to 20 minutes after payment is confirmed. Look up the PNR on the airline's website before you submit your file.
What happens if your travel dates change is explained on the how it works page, and the refund policy sets out the cancellation terms. Everything DTV states about itself, from prices to delivery, is collected on our key facts page.
Frequently asked questions
Which page do I use if my visa checklist just says "flight reservation"?
Start with flight reservation for visa. It covers the one-way or return reservation that wording refers to. If your checklist says "flight itinerary" instead, it means the same document, explained on flight itinerary for visa. Both link on to the multi-city and family pages if your trip needs one of those.
Can I book a flight reservation and a hotel voucher in one order?
Yes. Flight and hotel booking puts both on one form: ₹699 per passenger for the flight plus ₹699 per hotel, per passenger, so ₹1,398 per passenger for a flight and one hotel. The form asks for the hotel city and your check-in and check-out dates. For several cities or a long stay, ask us on WhatsApp before you order.
Is there a faster service if my appointment is this week?
Every order is delivered the same way: typically 10 to 20 minutes after your payment is confirmed, by email or WhatsApp, at the same ₹699 per passenger. Our terms note that weekends, holidays and busy periods can cause delays, so do not leave it to the last evening. Urgent dummy ticket covers ordering against a tight deadline.
Do family or group applications need separate orders?
No, up to nine passengers go on one order and one itinerary, each at ₹699, so a family of four on a return flight pays ₹2,796. Enter every name and date of birth exactly as printed in each passport, including children and infants. Dummy ticket for family explains how the form handles a group.
What if I am paying from outside India?
Use buy a dummy ticket with PayPal or card. It is the same reservation, charged in US dollars at about US$8.50 per passenger, by PayPal, debit card or credit card. Customers in India pay by UPI and send the payment screenshot on WhatsApp.
Need the reservation for your visa file?
