Dummy Ticket for Visa

 You do not have to buy a ticket before applying for a visa if you are planning a vacation. As an alternative, you can show a flight schedule that you can reserve without needing to pay the full price of the ticket; you can purchase the actual ticket once you get your visa. You can apply, purchase an airline ticket, and then wait for confirmation that your visa has been approved by using an Dummy Ticket, which typically remains in your name for a few weeks.
