Applying for a Schengen visa? You'll need a flight reservation.

But here's the catch: they don't want you to buy tickets before approval.

All 27 Schengen countries require proof of onward travel. Your reservation must show:

• Entry date to Schengen area
• Exit date from Schengen area
• Flight numbers and airlines
• Booking reference (PNR)

Schengen embassies explicitly allow temporary reservations. They understand the financial risk of buying tickets early.

What They're Looking For

✅ Valid PNR that airlines can verify ✅ Realistic travel dates ✅ Clear entry and exit points ✅ Professional formatting

Mistake 1: Buying non-refundable tickets Solution: Use a dummy ticket until approved

Mistake 2: Using screenshot generators Solution: Get a verifiable PNR

Mistake 3: Booking round-trip when visiting multiple countries Solution: Show multi-city itinerary
