When applying for a Schengen visa, a “dummy ticket” is a dummy flight schedule or reservation that is used as evidence of intended travel. Applicants for Schengen visas may be required to submit application materials together with proof of their travel arrangements, such as a round-trip plane ticket. However, because of financial concerns or uncertainty about their trip schedule, some passengers may decide to wait to buy an airline ticket until their visa is approved. In these circumstances, travelers can create a dummy ticket or short-term travel itinerary using a variety of online tools. These dummy tickets include the traveler’s name, flight details, and reservation code, but they are not real, dummy tickets. Instead, they only demonstrate that the applicant intends to leave the Schengen region within the time frame specified when a visa application is submitted.
