Free Dummy Ticket for Nepal — Visa Application 2026
Last updated · Reviewed by Marc Hoffmann, MyJet24
A dummy ticket for Nepal is a flight reservation PDF used to prove you have return travel planned when applying for your Nepal visa or entering at the border. Nepal embassies and consulates require this document — but won't accept a non-refundable ticket purchase before visa approval. MyJet24 generates a professional PDF with a booking reference in 30 seconds, free.
An onward ticket for Nepal is a verifiable Qatar Airways, Emirates or IndiGo flight reservation that Nepal's Department of Immigration and Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) check-in agents require as proof of onward travel for visa-on-arrival holders. Nepal issues tourist visas at KTM for 15 days (USD 30), 30 days (USD 50) or 90 days (USD 125); Indian passport holders enter without a visa. Travel insurance covering helicopter rescue at altitude is effectively mandatory for trekking above 4,000 m — evacuation costs of USD 3,000–10,000 must be pre-authorised by the insurer. Most trekking areas require a TIMS card plus an ACAP or Sagarmatha park permit. MyJet24 issues a KTM-routed PDF with a real PNR — free, no credit card required.

Visa-Embassy Focus
A dummy ticket for Nepal is the document you submit to the embassy or VFS centre with your visa application. It shows your planned travel dates so the consular officer can verify your trip duration aligns with the visa category requested. This page focuses on the embassy-submission requirements, processing-time considerations, and visa-fee context for Nepal.
What Nepal Embassy Officers Look For on Your Dummy Ticket
The Nepal embassy reviewer wants: (1) full passenger name matching your passport application, (2) flight dates that fall WITHIN the visa-validity window you requested, (3) a round-trip itinerary if your visa category is short-stay, (4) a real-format PNR / booking reference, and (5) IATA-code airports rather than city names alone. Inconsistency between this booking and your hotel-reservation dates is the most common red flag.
Nepal Visa Processing Time and Documentation Checklist
For Nepal visa applications, the dummy ticket is one document among several (visa form, photos, financial proof, hotel booking, travel insurance). Embassies rarely process applications on dummy ticket alone — but a missing or invalid dummy ticket is a documented reason for refusal. Submit early enough that your itinerary dates remain valid throughout the embassy processing window plus a buffer of 5–10 days.
Guide
What is a Dummy Ticket for Nepal?
A dummy ticket (also called a flight itinerary or temporary flight reservation) is a legitimate placeholder booking used to satisfy visa application requirements. When applying for your Nepal visa, embassies ask for proof that you have onward or return travel planned — but they don't want you to buy a non-refundable ticket before approval.
MyJet24 generates a free flight reservation PDF with a booking reference in airline format. You can use it for your visa application, present it to immigration, or show it at check-in as proof of onward travel.

Entry Note for Nepal
Nepal offers Visa on Arrival for citizens of most countries at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. Visitors can choose 15, 30, or 90 day stays. Airlines flying to Kathmandu frequently check for proof of onward or return travel at check-in. Nepali immigration may also ask for a confirmed hotel booking and proof of sufficient funds. A free dummy ticket from MyJet24 satisfies the onward travel requirement for Nepal entry.

Nepal Visa on Arrival & eVisa — Paid Verified Ticket vs Free Screenshot in 2026
Nepal offers Visa on Arrival and eVisa for most nationalities. The Nepal eVisa portal at online.nepalimmigration.gov.np requires a confirmed itinerary upload. Airlines into Kathmandu Tribhuvan (KTM) — including Himalayan Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines — check return tickets at check-in. A free screenshot with no real PNR fails the portal check and airline gate verification. A MyJet24 dummy ticket ($7.90) provides a live GDS booking reference that passes both, significantly increasing acceptance probability.
eVisa Portal Upload
Nepal eVisa requires itinerary documentation. The verified MyJet24 PNR satisfies portal upload requirements; fake PNRs cause rejection.
KTM Airline Check
Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, and IndiGo serving Kathmandu verify return tickets. The $7.90 PNR passes GDS cross-checks.

Why your Nepal visa file asks for proof of a flight
Nepal offers visa on arrival for many nationalities with a stay limit of 15/30/90 days. While you may not need a visa in advance, airlines and immigration officers at Kathmandu Tribhuvan (KTM) frequently ask for proof of onward travel before allowing you to board or enter the country. Without a valid return or onward ticket, you risk being denied boarding at check-in or turned away at the border.
A MyJet24 dummy ticket for Nepal includes your full passenger name matching your passport, departure and arrival airports (including Kathmandu Tribhuvan (KTM), Pokhara (PKR)), travel dates aligned with your visa application, and a booking reference number. The PDF is generated in under 30 seconds and is accepted by Nepal embassies, consulates, and immigration checkpoints worldwide.
With Dummy Ticket
Apply for your Nepal visa with a $0 flight reservation. Buy your real ticket only after approval.
Without Dummy Ticket
Risk paying $400–$1,200+ for a flight that becomes worthless if your visa is denied.

How quickly is it ready, and does that help in Nepal?
Half a minute. It helps because Nepal attracts trips whose end date genuinely is not known — a trek that runs two weeks or five depending on weather and altitude. That produces one-way bookings, and one-way bookings produce questions at a Delhi or Doha check-in desk.
How long does the reservation stay useful?
Through check-in and the counter at Tribhuvan. Set the date inside your visa period and remember that extending is done online, up to 150 days in a year — so a date you intend to move is workable here in a way it is not in countries that refuse extensions.
Does each person need their own document?
One per passport, in the passport's spelling. Each traveller also needs their own visa, their own insurance cover and — if taking the visa on arrival — their own dollars. Nothing about a Nepali arrival is processed as a group.
Do they really ask for accommodation?
Confirmation of your first night's accommodation is named at border control, so yes. It is one night, not the whole trip, which is a sensible rule for a country where most visitors move on to lodges and teahouses that were never booked in advance.
Will an agent verify the booking reference?
At check-in on the Indian and Gulf sectors, often. Those carriers see a lot of open-ended trekking itineraries and ask about departures as a matter of routine. A reference that resolves is what turns that into a thirty-second exchange.
Is Premium worth it for Nepal?
For an open-ended trip, yes, and most trips here are open-ended. The date you show is provisional by nature, and a booking that exists in a live system is what makes a provisional date credible to someone who has heard the same story all morning.
Does arriving overland from India change anything?
The visa requirement is identical; the experience is not. Crossings at Sunauli or Kakarbhitta are slower and more manual, the stamps need to be there and legible, and the insurance and accommodation questions are asked in the same terms as at the airport.
Is a held reservation honest to present here?
Yes, as a reservation, and nothing asks whether you paid for it. Be careful with the rest of the picture instead: Nepal describes overstaying as a serious crime rather than an administrative slip, so the date you show should be one you can actually extend from — which, online and up to 150 days, you can.
Do I need a visa for Nepal, or is it visa-free?
A visa, for any stay up to 90 days. There is no visa-free option — the choice is between applying online in the fifteen days before you arrive and taking a visa on arrival at the airport. Nepal is easy to enter and not free to enter, and those are different things.
Which route is better, online or on arrival?
Online removes the queue at Tribhuvan, which at peak trekking season is worth real time. Visa on arrival removes the planning and is paid by card or cash, with US dollars preferred. Anyone arriving in October or April should think hard about the queue.
How many days can I have in one year?
A hundred and fifty in total, across one year, reached by extending online. That is the ceiling that governs long stays, and it is a per-year figure rather than a per-visit one. Trekkers who plan two seasons in the same country are the ones who meet it.
What does the border want beyond the visa?
Travel insurance covering healthcare and repatriation, and confirmation of your first night's accommodation. Both are named at border control. The insurance requirement is the serious one — helicopter evacuation from altitude is the reason it exists, and it is not a formality in a country where that happens weekly.
What passport validity do I need?
At least six months after your date of entry into Nepal. Standard for the region, checked at check-in as well as at the border, and worth confirming before a trip that may extend well beyond the dates you originally booked.
What has to be on the reservation?
Your name as the passport prints it, a dated departure from Nepal, the operating carrier and a resolvable reference. Kathmandu is served largely through Delhi, Doha and Bangkok, and the agents on those sectors ask about departures on one-way bookings.
How quickly can I get it?
Half a minute, which suits a country people arrive in with flexible plans. A trek that might run two weeks or five is exactly the itinerary that produces a one-way booking, and exactly the one a check-in agent asks about.
Free or Premium for Nepal?
Premium suits the open-ended trip, which is most of them here. If your return depends on weather, altitude or how a trek goes, the departure date you show is provisional by nature — and a booking that resolves in a system is what makes a provisional date credible.
Is a held reservation legitimate here?
Yes, as a reservation. Nothing in the Nepali process asks about payment. Take the surrounding rules seriously though: overstaying is described as a serious crime carrying significant fines or imprisonment, so the date you show should be one you can actually work with.

"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."

"B1/B2 interview at the Amman embassy. The officer asked one question about my travel dates. I pointed to the MyJet24 printout. He moved on. Entire interaction around the flight: five seconds. Visa approved. There is nothing complicated about this. You need a document, this gives you one, it is real, it works."

"Ok so basically every travel agency near the uni wanted like 3000 to 5000 rupees for a dummy ticket and my monthly food budget is already a joke so that was not happening. 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."
