When a Flight Itinerary Helps a Visa Application
Understand when an authority may request intended travel details, what a proposed itinerary contains and why it must not be presented as a booking.
What is a proposed flight itinerary?
A proposed flight itinerary shows intended airlines, flight numbers, dates, routes and times. It is not a confirmed booking, reservation or ticket. It can help present an intended travel schedule when that information is relevant.
When may it be requested?
Requirements vary by country, visa type and application centre. Some authorities ask for a travel reservation or evidence of intended transport, while others focus on the trip purpose and supporting evidence. Use the current official checklist for your application.
Should you buy a ticket first?
Do not assume that a paid ticket is required. Check the authority's current instructions before buying a non-refundable fare. A proposed itinerary can present intended details, but it does not replace a confirmed booking when one is specifically required.
What should the itinerary include?
A good itinerary should include: passenger name, airline names and flight numbers, departure and arrival airports with IATA codes, travel dates and times, and clear outbound and return legs. It should look professional and be clearly labelled as a proposed itinerary.
How Flyvoro works
Flyvoro checks current public flight options and creates a clearly labelled proposed itinerary PDF. Skyscanner remains available as a separate manual comparison link. Availability can change and Flyvoro does not reserve or issue a ticket.
