Is a dummy ticket accepted for a China visa application?

Yes. China embassies and consulates accept a flight reservation (dummy ticket) as proof of intended travel. MyJet24's PDF with booking reference satisfies this requirement without purchasing an actual ticket.

How quickly can I get a dummy ticket for China?

Your China dummy ticket PDF is ready in under 30 seconds. Enter your departure airport, choose your travel dates, and download the PDF instantly. No account registration or credit card needed.

How long is a China dummy ticket valid for?

The MyJet24 dummy ticket for China is generated with the travel dates you specify. Use dates that match your China visa application period and ensure your return date falls within the permitted stay window.

Is it legal to use a dummy ticket for China?

Yes, using a temporary flight reservation for a China visa application is completely legal. It is a real reservation — not a forged document. Embassies specifically recommend flight reservations over purchased tickets to protect applicants from financial loss if a visa is denied.

Can I show this dummy ticket at China immigration?

Yes. You can present the MyJet24 PDF at China immigration as proof of onward travel. The document shows your departure flight with passenger details, flight number, and booking reference — exactly what border officers need to see.

What airports can I use for my China dummy ticket?

MyJet24 supports all international airports in China. Select any of them as your arrival or departure airport when generating your dummy ticket. The airport code will appear on the PDF exactly as needed for your visa application.

Do I need a hotel booking along with my China dummy ticket?

Most China visa applications require both a flight itinerary and proof of accommodation. MyJet24 also offers a free hotel booking confirmation tool — generate both documents together to complete your visa application package.

What is the difference between a free and premium dummy ticket?

The free MyJet24 dummy ticket is suitable for most purposes. The premium version ($7.90) provides a clean, professional PDF with a real PNR booking reference — recommended for embassy submissions and immigration checks in China.

How do I apply for a China L Tourist Visa via COVA in 2026?

Since late 2025 China uses the unified COVA (China Online Visa Application) portal followed by a mandatory in-person appointment at a Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC). The 10-step process: (1) Determine visa type — L (Tourist), M (Business), Q (Family), Z (Work), X (Student), G (Transit). (2) Create account at bio.visaforchina.cn or the COVA portal. (3) Complete the online visa form (passport details, travel plan, employment). (4) Upload digital photo — 33×48 mm, white background, ears visible, NO glasses. (5) Print the COVA confirmation. (6) Book CVASC appointment in your country of residence. (7) Attend the in-person appointment with passport, printed photo (also 33×48 mm), printed COVA form, and supporting documents. (8) Pay visa fee — USD 30-185 depending on nationality (US citizens pay USD 185, most Europeans pay USD 30-90). (9) Receive collection slip. (10) Collect passport with visa stamp in 4 working days (Standard) or pay surcharge for Express 2-3 days or Rush 1-day service. Since January 2024, tour itineraries, round-trip flight tickets, hotel bookings, and invitation letters are no longer required for standard L Tourist Visa applications — but a dummy ticket from MyJet24 still strengthens border-side proof of onward travel.

What documents do I need for a China visa application in 2026?

China L Tourist Visa post-2024 simplification requires 5 mandatory documents: (1) PASSPORT — original, valid 6+ months beyond Chinese entry, 2 blank visa pages, no damage. (2) PHOTO — colour, 33×48 mm dimensions, white background, ears fully visible, no glasses, neutral expression, taken within last 6 months. China photo specs are UNIQUE — different from Schengen 35×45, UAE 43×55, Thai 35×45, Philippines 51×51. (3) COVA Confirmation — printed copy of online application from bio.visaforchina.cn or COVA portal. (4) Signed Visa Application Statement — confirms truthfulness of submitted information. (5) Proof of Residence — utility bill, lease agreement, or government ID showing your current address in country of CVASC application. Optional (no longer mandatory since January 2024): tour itinerary, round-trip flight ticket, hotel booking, invitation letter. Despite this simplification, including a MyJet24 dummy ticket and hotel reservation strengthens borderline applications, especially for first-time China travellers or background-check tier nationalities.

What is the 240-hour visa-free transit policy and who qualifies in 2026?

China's 240-hour visa-free transit policy launched in late 2024 — expanding from the original 72-hour and 144-hour policies. Eligible travellers may transit through 24 designated provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities for up to 240 hours (10 days) without a visa. 55 nationalities qualify: all 26 Schengen members plus UK, Ireland, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Monaco, Belarus; USA, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile; Australia, New Zealand; South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, UAE, Qatar. Requirements: passport valid 3+ months, confirmed onward ticket to a THIRD country or region (not back to your origin — Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan count as separate regions), entry through one of 65 designated ports (PEK, PVG, CAN, SZX, CTU, KMG and 59 others). The 240 hours starts at midnight after arrival. Activities are permitted within the entered province and select adjacent provinces under the inter-province rule. A MyJet24 dummy ticket with a real PNR to your third destination satisfies the onward-ticket requirement.

How do I qualify for a China 10-year multi-entry visa in 2026?

The China 10-Year Multi-Entry Visa is available to citizens of selected countries under bilateral agreements: USA, UK, Canada, Argentina, Israel and Singapore. Each stay is 60-90 days depending on the issuing consulate. Application is the same COVA + CVASC process as the standard L Tourist Visa — the 10-year duration is granted at the consulate's discretion based on travel history, financial standing, and clean immigration record. Strong applications typically show: previous successful China entries, stable employment with income proof (USD 50,000+/year recommended), bank statement showing USD 5,000+ stable balance, valid passport with 10+ months remaining (the visa cannot exceed passport validity). First-time China applicants from these countries may receive only a 1-year or 2-year multi-entry visa initially — the 10-year is more commonly issued on the second or third successful application. Fee: USD 140-185 (US citizens). The visa allows unlimited entries during the 10-year period subject to the per-stay duration limit.

Why was my China visa rejected — what are the most common reasons in 2026?

China visa rejections from CVASC cite these 10 most common grounds: (1) Photo non-compliance — wrong size (must be 33×48 mm), wrong background colour (must be pure white), ears not visible, glasses worn, hair covering forehead or eyebrows. China rejects more photos than any other major visa system. (2) Passport validity less than 6 months from entry date. (3) Mismatched details between COVA online form and physical documents (especially name spelling, birth date, passport number). (4) Insufficient address proof for CVASC jurisdiction — applying at a CVASC outside your country of residence triggers refusal. (5) Previous Chinese visa overstay or deportation flagged in immigration database. (6) Travel history showing only countries that have refused Schengen / US / UK / Canada visas. (7) Common name security flag (false positive matching). (8) Suspicious employment claims — claiming high income without supporting payslips and tax returns. (9) Background-check tier nationalities (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen, Syria, certain African states) applying for first time without strong sponsor letter. (10) Insufficient gap between previous Chinese visa refusal and re-application (recommend 6+ months gap). Re-applications are accepted but include a cover letter explaining what changed since the refusal.

Is the All Indonesia Arrival Card mandatory equivalent for China?

No. Unlike Indonesia's All Indonesia card, Thailand's TDAC, or Philippine eTravel, China does NOT yet operate a mandatory digital arrival card for foreign visitors. The traditional paper Arrival/Departure card is still distributed on incoming flights and at airport immigration counters. However, all foreign visitors must register their accommodation with local police within 24 hours of arrival under the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China — hotels do this automatically, but those staying at private residences must visit the local Public Security Bureau (PSB) within 24 hours. Failure to register triggers fines from CNY 500 to CNY 2,000 and may affect future visa applications.

Does China require proof of onward travel?

Yes, for 240-hour visa-free transit travellers it is mandatory — the onward ticket must show a confirmed booking, assigned seat, and departure within 240 hours to a third country or region (Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan count as separate regions). For L Tourist Visa holders, the onward ticket is no longer required at the CVASC application stage since January 2024 but immigration officers at PEK, PVG, CAN, SZX, CTU, KMG may still request it on arrival. Airlines including Air China (CA), China Eastern (MU), China Southern (CZ), Cathay Pacific (CX) and foreign carriers (Lufthansa, Emirates, KLM, British Airways) check for onward travel at check-in. A MyJet24 onward ticket with a real PNR satisfies all verification checks.

Can I use a dummy ticket for a China visa application?

Yes. Dummy tickets (flight reservations with real PNRs) are accepted by Chinese Visa Application Service Centers (CVASC) and embassies. Since the January 2024 simplification, the flight ticket is no longer mandatory at the application stage for standard L Tourist Visa — but a dummy ticket still strengthens the application for first-time applicants and background-check tier nationalities. For 240-hour visa-free transit, the onward ticket IS mandatory and must show a confirmed booking with assigned seat to a third country within 240 hours. MyJet24 generates a free dummy ticket PDF with a verifiable Amadeus or Sabre PNR in 30 seconds — accepted by CVASC, immigration and airlines.

How much does a China visa cost in 2026?

China visa fees vary significantly by nationality due to bilateral reciprocity agreements. US citizens pay USD 185 for single, double, or multi-entry visas under reciprocity. UK citizens pay GBP 151 (~USD 190). Most EU nationals pay EUR 90 single entry, EUR 130 double, EUR 200 multi-entry 1-year, EUR 260 multi-entry 2-year. Canadians pay CAD 142. Australians pay AUD 109 single, AUD 224 multi-entry. Express processing (2-3 working days) adds USD 30-50 surcharge. Rush processing (1-day pickup) adds USD 60-100. Fees are non-refundable on refusal. Some CVASC locations charge additional service fees of USD 30-65 on top of the consular visa fee. Always check the latest fee at your country's CVASC website (bio.visaforchina.cn) before applying.

How long does a China visa take to process in 2026?

Standard processing at CVASC is 4 working days from submission to pickup. Express (2-3 working days) is available at most CVASC locations for USD 30-50 surcharge. Rush (next working day pickup) is available at major CVASC locations including Washington DC, New York, London, Sydney for USD 60-100 surcharge. Background-check tier nationalities (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen, Syria, certain African states) automatically receive extended processing of 10-20 working days regardless of tier. Apply at least 30 days before travel — passport pickup is required in person or by approved courier service. Some CVASC offices have implemented same-day urgent service for genuine emergencies (medical, funeral) at premium fees up to USD 200.

What documents do I need for a China L Tourist Visa application?

China L Tourist Visa requires: original passport (6+ months validity, 2 blank pages), printed COVA online application confirmation, signed visa application statement, photo 33×48 mm white background with ears visible and no glasses, proof of residence at CVASC jurisdiction (utility bill or lease). Since January 2024, tour itinerary, round-trip flight ticket, hotel booking and invitation letter are no longer strictly required. For minors, additional documents include birth certificate and parental consent letter. For background-check tier nationalities, additional supporting documents include sponsor letter, employment verification, and detailed cover letter.

What are the main international airports in China?

The main international airports in China for tourist and business travel are Beijing Capital International (PEK), Shanghai Pudong International (PVG), Guangzhou Baiyun International (CAN), Shenzhen Bao'an International (SZX), Chengdu Shuangliu International (CTU), and Kunming Changshui International (KMG). All six are designated entry points for the 240-hour visa-free transit policy. When generating your dummy ticket on MyJet24, select any of these airports as your arrival destination. The airport on your dummy ticket should match the city where you plan to stay or where your CVASC appointment is located.

Do I need a hotel booking for my China visa?

Since January 2024, hotel booking is no longer mandatory for standard L Tourist Visa applications at CVASC. However, including a hotel reservation strengthens borderline applications, especially for first-time China travellers, background-check tier nationalities, or applicants with limited international travel history. You can generate a free refundable hotel booking confirmation using MyJet24's Hotel Booking tool. For 240-hour visa-free transit entry, immigration officers at the port of entry may ask for accommodation details — a hotel booking covering your transit period is recommended.

Can I get a flight reservation for China without buying a ticket?

Yes. You do not need to buy an actual airline ticket for your China visa application. Although flight tickets are no longer mandatory since January 2024, CVASC and Chinese consulates still accept flight reservations as supporting documents for first-time and borderline applications. MyJet24 generates a free flight reservation PDF with verifiable Amadeus or Sabre PNR in 30 seconds. For 240-hour visa-free transit, a confirmed onward ticket to a third country is mandatory — a MyJet24 dummy ticket with real PNR satisfies this requirement.

How long can I stay in China on a tourist visa?

On a standard L Tourist Visa, you can stay in China for 30 days per entry (single or double entry) or 60 days per entry on multiple-entry visas. The 10-year multi-entry visa allows 60-90 days per stay depending on the issuing consulate. The 240-hour visa-free transit allows 10 days (240 hours) per transit without any visa application. Overstaying triggers fines of CNY 500 per day up to CNY 10,000, detention, deportation, and future visa bans. Visa extensions are available at the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau in major Chinese cities for genuine reasons (medical, family emergency) at CNY 160-250.

Where is the Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC) in my country?

Chinese Visa Application Service Centers (CVASC) operate in major cities across most countries. In the USA: Washington DC, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston. In the UK: London (Royal Mint Court), Manchester, Edinburgh. In Germany: Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Düsseldorf. In Canada: Ottawa, Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary. CVASC handles all visa processing on behalf of Chinese consulates. Find your nearest CVASC at bio.visaforchina.cn or use MyJet24's Embassy Finder tool. You must apply at the CVASC corresponding to your residence — applying outside your jurisdiction triggers refusal.

Do I need travel insurance for China?

Travel insurance is not strictly mandatory for L Tourist Visa applications since January 2024 but is strongly recommended. Chinese hospitals require upfront payment for foreign patients — even minor procedures can cost USD 500-2,000. A travel insurance policy covering medical emergencies, repatriation, and lost luggage costs USD 25-80 for a 2-week trip. For 240-hour visa-free transit, no insurance proof is required. Some Chinese embassies recommend insurance covering minimum USD 30,000 medical for visa applications from background-check tier nationalities.

Is there a visa interview for China?

Most China L Tourist Visa applications do NOT require an interview — the CVASC appointment is purely for document submission and biometric capture. However, some nationalities (those on background-check tier or with previous visa refusals) may be called for a short interview at the Chinese Consulate. Interviews typically last 5-15 minutes and focus on travel purpose, itinerary, employment, financial situation, and ties to home country. Bring all original documents including your dummy ticket, hotel booking, bank statements, and cover letter. Honest, concise answers strengthen approval probability.

What currency is used in China and how much money should I bring?

The currency in China is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY). For visa applications, no specific minimum balance is mandated post-2024 simplification, but a general guideline is USD 50-100 per day of stay equivalent. ATMs are widely available in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, and all major tourist cities. Most ATMs accept Visa, MasterCard, UnionPay, and JCB. Inform your bank about your China travel dates to prevent card freezing. Mobile payments (Alipay, WeChat Pay) dominate daily transactions — set up an Alipay Tour Pass before arrival for convenience.

Is China safe for tourists in 2026?

China is generally very safe for tourists who take standard precautions. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Xi'an and Kunming have low violent crime rates compared to most Western capitals. Common precautions include: avoid politically sensitive areas (Tibet and Xinjiang have additional permit requirements), use registered taxis or DiDi ride-hailing, keep copies of important documents separate from originals, register accommodation with local PSB within 24 hours if staying with friends. Check your government's travel advisory before departure for any current restrictions.

What is the best time to visit China in 2026?

China is a large country with diverse climates. Best overall periods: April-May (spring, mild) and September-October (autumn, cool). Avoid Chinese New Year (late January or February) and Golden Week (1-7 October) for tourist sites — crowds are intense and prices peak. Summer (June-August) brings monsoon rain to the south and heat to most regions. Winter (December-February) is excellent for Harbin Ice Festival but cold in the north (Beijing -10°C). When planning your dummy ticket, factor in your destination city — Beijing differs from tropical Sanya (Hainan).

What language is spoken in China?

The primary official language is Mandarin Chinese (Putonghua). In Hong Kong and Macau, Cantonese dominates. In Shanghai, Wu Chinese is locally spoken. Major tourist areas (Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Guangzhou hotels and tourist sites) have English-speaking staff, but English is not widely spoken outside these contexts. Translation apps (Google Translate offline, Pleco, Baidu Translate) are essential. For visa applications to China, documents in English are accepted at CVASC; non-English non-Chinese documents require official translation.

Do I need a cover letter for my China visa?

A cover letter is no longer strictly required since January 2024 for standard L Tourist Visa applications. However, including a cover letter strengthens borderline applications and is recommended for: first-time China travellers, background-check tier nationalities, applicants with previous visa refusals to any country, multi-entry visa applications, or business / family visit purposes. The cover letter should explain travel purpose, itinerary, financial situation, ties to home country, and reason for returning after the visit. You can generate a professional cover letter using MyJet24's Visa Support Letter tool.

What are common reasons for China visa denial?

Top denial reasons include: photo non-compliance (wrong 33×48 mm size, off-white background, glasses worn, ears not visible — China's strictest photo standard), passport validity less than 6 months, mismatched details between COVA form and supporting documents, applying at wrong CVASC jurisdiction, previous Chinese visa overstay or deportation, weak travel history (only visa refusals from Schengen / US / UK), common name security flag, insufficient employment proof claiming high income, background-check tier without strong sponsor letter, re-applying too soon after previous refusal (recommend 6-month gap).

How do I get a free dummy ticket for China on MyJet24?

Getting a free dummy ticket for China on MyJet24 takes 30 seconds: visit myjet24.com, select your departure airport, choose Beijing (PEK), Shanghai Pudong (PVG), Guangzhou (CAN), Shenzhen (SZX), Chengdu (CTU) or Kunming (KMG) as destination, enter travel dates matching your visa application, add passenger details exactly as on passport, click generate.

"I originally used MyJet24 because I did not want to pay for a dummy ticket. That was the only reason. But what actually impressed me was how the PDF looked. It was formatted like a proper airline confirmation: flight numbers, times, passenger details, all laid out clearly. The Italian embassy in Hanoi accepted it without a word. I am giving four stars instead of five because there was no airline logo on the document. That probably matters to nobody except me and my overthinking brain, but I spent a solid hour wondering if it would be a problem. It was not."

"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."

"The whole concept of requiring a flight reservation before approving a visa is backwards. You are asking me to plan a trip I might not be allowed to take. The airline will not refund me if the visa is refused. The embassy knows this. Everybody knows this. But the requirement exists, so you play the game. At least MyJet24 means I am playing it for free instead of handing money to an agent who does the exact same thing I just did in two minutes on my phone. Lagos consulate interview went fine. Officer could not have cared less about the flight document."

Visa approved. There is nothing complicated about this. You need a document, this gives you one, it is real, it works."

"I am the kind of person who reads the entire terms and conditions page before clicking accept. So naturally I spent twenty minutes examining the MyJet24 website before I trusted it enough to enter my passport number. Then I spent another fifteen minutes cross checking the booking reference on the airline website, then on CheckMyTrip, then on a third verification site I found on Reddit. Everything matched everywhere. The Canadian embassy in Ankara processed my visa without asking about the flight. Four stars because my personality will not allow me to give five stars to anything I have not used at least three times."

"Schengen visa number seven using MyJet24 reservations. Italy twice, France three times, Spain twice. Never once questioned by any consulate. I stopped thinking about flight reservations as a task somewhere around application number four. It takes less time than making coffee. The fact that I used to block lakhs on refundable tickets and wait weeks for refunds feels genuinely embarrassing in hindsight."

"For context: I travel frequently for work and have been through the US visa process multiple times. The flight reservation has always been the lowest-value, highest-annoyance part of the paperwork. MyJet24 eliminates that friction point entirely. The output is clean, the booking reference validates against the airline system, and the turnaround is measured in minutes, not hours. I have recommended it to several colleagues. Each of them had the same reaction I did: why did nobody tell me about this sooner."

"My brother has been in Toronto for six years. Six years. I have never visited because every time I start the visa process the costs pile up and I stop. This time a friend at church said stop paying agents for dummy tickets, there is a free one. I did not believe her. But she was right. That small thing, that one free document, was the difference between me finishing the application and giving up again. I am writing this from Pearson Airport. I made it."

"Everything about the actual ticket was good. My problem is that I generated it at 2am Manila time and then could not sleep because I kept wondering if I had entered my middle name correctly. There is no way to edit or regenerate without starting over completely. I ended up generating a second one just to be safe. Both worked. But a simple edit button or a preview screen before final generation would save people like me a lot of unnecessary 3am anxiety."

"My husband wanted to book actual flights before the visa was approved. I said that is insane, what if they refuse us and we are stuck with nonrefundable tickets to Paris. He said they offer refundable fares. I said have you seen what refundable fares cost on Air France in July. We argued about it for a week. Then my sister sent me the MyJet24 link and said you are both overthinking this. She was right. Generated two reservations, submitted them, got the visas, then booked the actual flights on a sale fare that was half the price of the refundable ones my husband wanted. I have not let him forget this."

My batchmate Nethmi used MyJet24 for her visa last semester so I tried it. Colombo to Frankfurt return. Done. The booking reference thing was legit when I checked. Took the printout to the German embassy. Got the visa. Nethmi gets full credit for the recommendation. MyJet24 gets credit for existing. My wallet gets credit for not losing another 5000 rupees."

"When you work remotely and move countries every few months, visa applications become part of your routine the way grocery shopping is part of other people's routines. You learn which parts actually matter (bank statements, cover letter, insurance) and which parts are just procedural box-ticking (flight reservation). The flight reservation is a box to tick. MyJet24 ticks it. I have used it from Cape Town, Lisbon, and Bangkok at this point. Same result every time. It is not exciting. It is just reliable. And when you are mid-move with seventeen tabs open, reliable is everything."

He sits behind a glass counter, types your name into the same kind of website I found in two seconds on Google, clicks a button, prints a page, and charges you 4,500 taka. Four thousand five hundred taka for something that took him forty five seconds. I know because I watched him do it for the person before me in the queue. I walked out, went home, did it myself on MyJet24, and have been angry about almost paying that man ever since. The French embassy in Dhaka approved my visa in twelve days. The agent had nothing to do with it."

"I sat on my bedroom floor at midnight with my VFS appointment twelve hours away, laptop open, genuinely close to tears because the travel agent had closed for the day and I had no flight reservation. Then I found this site. Three minutes later I had one. I just sat there holding my phone looking at the PDF. That feeling of going from completely stuck to completely sorted in three minutes is something I will not forget for a while."

"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."

"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."

"Two adults, two kids, four separate reservations needed for VFS Karachi. I made a spreadsheet to track the application documents for each family member. The flight reservation was the only row that filled itself in under five minutes per person. Every other row on that spreadsheet took hours. All four bookings had their own references, all four checked out. Two weeks later, four visas in four passports. The spreadsheet is now a template for next time."

"UPDATE: Coming back to change this from four stars to five. When I first wrote this review three weeks ago I was still waiting for the visa and was nervous about the reservation expiring before the embassy looked at my file. It did not. Visa came through yesterday for all four family members. The reservations were long expired by then but that does not matter because the embassy checks them at the time of submission, not weeks later. So if you are worried about the same thing I was: relax. File it and forget it."

"Got my passport back yesterday. Spain visa approved. Seven working days. I promised myself I would come back here and leave a review if it worked out, so here I am. First Schengen application. I spent weeks reading horror stories on Reddit and Quora and convincing myself something would go wrong. Nothing went wrong. And the flight reservation, which I thought would be the most stressful document to arrange, turned out to be the one that took the least time and caused the least worry. Thank you. Genuinely."
