Applying for a Schengen visa from the UAE usually means showing a round-trip flight and a place to stay before you have a visa. Visa Doctor issues a Schengen dummy flight ticket, a dummy hotel booking, or both together, so you can submit a complete file without paying for non-refundable travel first.

What you get
- Flight booking. A round-trip itinerary with your name, route, dates and booking reference, laid out the way Schengen visa centres expect.
- Hotel booking. A dummy accommodation booking for the same city and dates, matched to the flights.
- Flight and hotel booking. Both documents together, with consistent dates that line up with your cover letter, travel insurance and appointment.
- 3, 7 or 14 days of validity. You choose how long the booking stays active from the day it is issued.
- Issued at the right time. We issue everything one day before your appointment, because the maximum validity is 14 days and this way the booking is live when it is checked.
Is a dummy ticket accepted for a Schengen visa?
Schengen consulates and visa centres ask applicants to show their travel plan and where they will stay. A reservation is the usual way to show this before approval. Requirements differ by country and the consulate makes the decision, so we match the booking to the country you apply to. For the wider file, see our Schengen visa from Dubai service.
Each flight booking carries a live PNR (booking reference). It is a reservation to support your visa application, not a paid ticket, so do not travel on it. Buy your real flights and hotel only after the visa is approved.
How it works
- Choose flight, hotel or both, and pick 3, 7 or 14 days in the form above.
- Send it on WhatsApp with your passport copy, travel dates and appointment date.
- We prepare the booking to match your trip.
- One day before your appointment we issue it and send you the PDFs to attach to your file.
Which validity should you choose?
- 3 days. Your appointment is close and you submit straight away.
- 7 days. The usual choice for a standard submission and a short processing check.
- 14 days. Longer processing, a possible second appointment or a request for extra documents.
If your appointment changes, tell us early and we will re-time the issue date.
Who uses it
- First-time Schengen applicants who have an appointment but no visa yet.
- Families and groups who want matching bookings for every traveller.
- Residents planning a trip through more than one Schengen country.
- Applicants who want to avoid paying for non-refundable flights and hotels before a decision.
Need travel insurance for your application too?
Many applicants order the booking and the insurance in one go, so everything for the file is ready together.
We can arrange travel medical insurance for your visa application, whether it is Schengen, the UK or another destination. For Schengen the policy needs at least EUR 30,000 of medical cover valid in all Schengen states for the whole stay. Insurance is arranged by Visa Doctor alongside your booking or your full visa application.
Tell us your destination, travel dates and number of travellers and we will send you the options with the policy document you can attach to your application.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the Schengen dummy ticket valid?
You choose 3, 7 or 14 days of validity from the day it is issued. Most applicants pick 7 days, and 14 days suits longer processing or a second appointment.
When do you issue the dummy ticket?
One day before your visa appointment. Validity is a maximum of 14 days, so issuing the day before means the booking is live when the visa centre checks it and stays live if they ask for extra documents.
Is the booking Schengen compliant?
Yes. It is prepared to Schengen requirements: passenger names exactly as in the passport, a round-trip route, dates that sit inside your itinerary and a hotel booking for the whole stay. The consulate makes the final decision on every application.
Can I order only the flight or only the hotel?
Yes. Choose flight booking, hotel booking, or flight and hotel booking together. When you order both, the dates and cities are matched.
Can I fly on a dummy ticket or stay in the dummy hotel?
No. Both are reservations used to support your visa application, not paid bookings. Buy your real flights and hotel after the visa is approved.
Can Visa Doctor also handle the visa application?
Yes. We prepare the file, book the VFS Global, BLS or embassy appointment and write the cover letter. Ask us on WhatsApp.
Does the booking have a real PNR?
Yes. Every flight booking carries a live PNR (booking reference) that matches the itinerary in your documents.
How much does it cost?
The price depends on the validity and on whether you order the flight, the hotel or both. Message us with your destination, validity and number of travellers and we will send you the price.
Can I get a refund?
No. We do not issue refunds once payment has been received, so check your dates and appointment before you pay.
