- Accepted format for embassy and visa-centre checklists
- Names, route and dates issued exactly as you enter them
- No payment to the airline — nothing to cancel
- WhatsApp copy on request at no extra cost
Every year a large share of visa files from Kollam are completed with a flight reservation rather than a paid ticket. The document looks and behaves like an airline booking because it is one — the only difference is that no fare was paid, so a refusal costs you nothing but a lapsed hold.
What the visa officer is actually checking
Officers process hundreds of files a day and mostly check consistency: do the reservation, hotel, insurance and form tell the same story? A reservation lets you fix those dates cheaply. Enter them carefully, because we issue the document exactly as ordered.
Because the hold sits in the airline's own system, anyone who checks it — embassy staff, VFS staff, an immigration officer — sees a genuine itinerary with confirmed status. No template or Photoshopped image survives that test; a real reservation passes it every time.
Applying from Kollam
The submission point for Kollam applicants is VFS Global Kochi (nearest). Whatever the visa type, the flight component is the same: a verifiable reservation from TRV, issued exactly as you enter it, with nothing paid to the airline.
Passport renewal (Tatkal) requirements at a glance
A dummy ticket satisfies the flight component without a paid fare. Note that reservations are accepted as evidence of urgency. The Passport Seva Kendra under the Tatkal scheme processes the passport renewal (tatkal); the file should include a flight reservation as proof of urgent travel, plus standard documents. Order once your interview or submission date is set; a fresh hold verifies cleanly exactly when it needs to.

What it costs
The flat rate is ₹699 / $9 per passenger — roughly what a courier would charge, and a fraction of one per cent of a real ticket. Payment runs through Razorpay (UPI, cards, netbanking, international cards) and the confirmation email is instant.
Avoid these flight-reservation mistakes
- Dates that disagree with the rest of the file. Consistency wins. Match the reservation dates to your form and accommodation before you pay.
- Ignoring transit rules on the way. Some routings demand a transit visa even without leaving the airport. Verify the layover country.
- Choosing the wrong origin airport. The itinerary should start where you actually depart — Kollam by default, or tell us if it should differ.
- Assuming every route costs the same everywhere. Our rate is flat — ₹699 / $9 per passenger — so there is no route-based pricing to worry about.
After the visa: booking the real flight
Once the visa is granted, book the actual ticket on whatever dates and airline now suit you — often cheaper and better timed than anything available before approval, because you are no longer buying under deadline pressure. The reservation was never meant to be flown on; it kept your file complete while the decision was pending, then stepped aside.
Pre-submission checklist
Sixty seconds before you leave for VFS Global Kochi (nearest):
- Names on the itinerary match the passport exactly — every passenger.
- Dates match the application form, hotel and insurance.
- The PNR resolves on the airline site with confirmed status.
- Printed PDF in the file, plus a phone screenshot of the PNR check.
- Insurance and accommodation cover the full stay, not just the first days.
Who this service is for
Tourists assembling a first application, students on tight budgets, families applying together, businesses sending people to conferences, consultants preparing other people's files, and backpackers facing an onward-travel question at check-in. Different reasons, same requirement: a real itinerary with a working booking reference, delivered today, for ₹699 / $9.
Onward travel and immigration counters
The reservation is not only for embassies. Check-in staff on visa-free routes, immigration officers at land and air borders, and airline ground teams all ask the same question: when are you leaving? A one-way or round-trip reservation with a live reference answers it in seconds. Travellers flying into destinations that require onward proof use the same document — it shows a real intention to move on, without buying a second ticket that may never be used.
Included in the flat ₹699 / $9
The price buys the whole document, not a teaser: the reservation itself, the verifiable PNR, the airline-format PDF delivered by email in about ten minutes, a WhatsApp copy when you want one, and support on WhatsApp if anything needs checking before your appointment. A dummy hotel booking joins the same order at the same flat rate.
The limits, stated plainly
No baggage, no boarding, no edits after issuance, and no influence on the visa decision. A reservation is a documentation tool, and treating it as anything else — a discount ticket, a placeholder to check in with — ends badly at a counter somewhere. Used for its actual purpose, it is the cheapest, lowest-risk way to complete the flight line of any file.
Documents that travel with the flight reservation
The itinerary rarely stands alone. Depending on your visa type, the checklist around it usually includes:
- Accommodation proof. A bookable hotel confirmation covering the same dates — add a dummy hotel booking to the same order for ₹699 / $9.
- Travel insurance. Many destinations require a minimum cover amount; Schengen files, for instance, expect €30,000 medical cover.
- Bank statements. Three to six months, showing regular activity rather than a sudden deposit.
- Employment or study evidence. A leave letter, contract, or enrolment confirmation that matches your travel dates.
Keep every document telling the same story — the dates on the reservation should match the hotel, the insurance window and the form.
Verifying the document before you submit
The fastest credibility test is also the simplest: the booking reference resolves on the airline website. Enter the PNR and surname on Manage Booking and your itinerary from TRV appears with confirmed status — exactly what the embassy or visa centre sees when they look it up.
Do this check the evening before your appointment at VFS Global Kochi (nearest). If a hold ever fails to resolve, message us on WhatsApp and we re-issue the reservation; that safety net is part of the service, not an extra.
Your questions, answered
Is a dummy ticket accepted for a Passport renewal (Tatkal) application from Kollam?
The officer decides each file, and what the checklist wants is a flight itinerary with a booking reference — exactly what a dummy ticket is. The embassy or visa centre sees these daily.
When does the PDF arrive?
Roughly ten minutes from payment to inbox. Ask for a WhatsApp copy if your appointment is imminent.
Is it possible to edit the reservation later?
No. The reservation is issued exactly as entered, so double-check names, dates and route before paying. A change means a fresh order.
Any special requirements for the flight reservation on a Passport renewal (Tatkal)?
Names in passport spelling, a sensible route via TRV, and dates consistent with the rest of the file. That is the whole list.
What if the airline page shows no booking?
Contact support straight away. If the reference does not resolve we will replace the reservation — that is part of the service.
Why not just buy a cheap fully-refundable ticket?
Refundable fares tie up serious money and refunds take weeks. A reservation does the identical documentary job for a flat ₹699 / $9.
Do missions call carriers to check reservations?
Occasionally they do, which is exactly why the booking reference must resolve — and it does, because the hold sits in the airline's own system.
What if my appointment moves to next month?
The original hold will likely have expired. Message us before the new date and order a fresh reservation — at ₹699 / $9 it costs nothing to keep the document current.
Does the reservation show a seat number?
Seat maps come with paid tickets only. For documentation purposes the reservation's route and reference are what get checked.

Dummy ticket price for applicants in India
If your phone number is a India number (+91), a flight reservation costs ₹699 per passenger, one way or round trip. The price follows the country of your phone number, not where you are flying, so a Kollam applicant pays the same for Dubai, London or Toronto. Multi-city itineraries are priced per pair of flights and a hotel booking costs the same per stay.
| Phone number from | Flight reservation |
|---|---|
| India (+91) | ₹699 per passenger |
| United Arab Emirates | AED 33 per passenger |

Why a live reservation beats a free "ticket generator"
A generated ticket has no PNR. A visa officer who checks it finds nothing, and a refusal for a false document is the hardest kind to appeal.
| What the embassy checks | DummyTicketPrice | Free "ticket generator" | Buying a real ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| PNR resolves on the airline website | Yes: a live reservation | No PNR | Yes |
| Cost per passenger | ₹699 / $9 | Free | The full fare at risk |
| Delivery | About 10 minutes by email | Instant | Instant |
