Picture it. Jakarta traffic. 8:47am. I am in the back of a Grab car fourteen minutes from the Italian embassy. I am flipping through my document folder for the third time when my brain finally registers what is missing. No flight reservation. It is at home. On my laptop. Which is on my bed. Which is forty minutes away in Kemang. My hands are slightly shaky. I pull up MyJet24 on my phone. Fill in the details. Get the PDF. Email it to myself. Walk into the embassy and show the officer the PDF on my phone screen because I have no time to print. She squints at it, writes something down, hands my folder back. Four days later: approved.

Dummy Ticket for Afghanistan: Kabul Dates for Indians Applying Online or Through an Afghan Mission
Afghanistan issues visas, but who may apply online depends on where you live. Indian citizens need a visa either way: residents of India cannot use the Foreign Ministry’s e-visa and go through an Afghan mission, while Indians based in Europe or North America can file online for 30 days with arrival at Kabul.

Five things to settle before a flight to Kabul
The e-visa portal of the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and IATA Timatic answer the questions an airline asks before boarding. Indian, Pakistani and Western passports land on different sides of these rules.

Indian citizens need a visa for Afghanistan: IATA Timatic exempts only people born in the country or travelling with an Afghan parent. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issues a single-entry tourist e-visa through evisa.mfa.gov.af for stays of up to 30 days, usable at Kabul International Airport only, but its eligibility rules shut out anyone living in India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar or Oman, as well as every Pakistani citizen; they apply through an Afghan diplomatic mission instead. The portal treats an itinerary and proof of accommodation as optional supporting documents, and neither it nor Timatic names a return ticket. The UK Foreign Office advises against all travel to Afghanistan. MyJet24 puts your Kabul dates into a flight PDF in about 30 seconds, free; the airline and Afghan officials decide what they accept.

Travel Guide
Why an Afghanistan application starts with dates
The e-visa counts 30 days from entry and lapses 90 days after issue, while standard processing can run to four weeks. A dated reservation lets you fit the journey inside those windows and attach a travel plan if you choose, and the fare can wait until the visa and your own safety assessment are settled.
Reserve Kabul dates, apply with a clear travel plan and buy the fare once the visa arrives.
Pay for a Delhi–Kabul fare first and risk losing it while the application sits for weeks.

What Our Users Say
Real feedback from travelers who used MyJet24 for their visa applications
I have tried three different dummy ticket services over the past two years. One charged me $18 and the booking vanished within six hours. Another gave me a PDF that looked like it was made in Microsoft Paint. MyJet24 is the first one where the output actually resembles what you get when you book directly on an airline website. Not identical, but close enough that nobody at VFS Dubai looked at it twice. Four stars because I still think a confirmation with the airline logo would look more polished, but honestly that is me being picky.
Submitted my Spain application through VFS Lagos this morning. I do not know if the visa will be approved yet. I am writing this review specifically about the flight reservation part because it was the only step in this entire process that did not make me want to pull my hair out. Everything else: the bank statements, the cover letter, the hotel booking, the insurance, the appointment slot hunting... painful. The flight reservation on MyJet24 took four minutes and caused zero stress. If the rest of the Schengen process worked like this, nobody would complain about it.
