Need a flight itinerary for a France visa but not ready to buy the ticket yet? That is the exact situation a dummy ticket solves. From Shimla you can have a verifiable reservation in your inbox in about ten minutes.
Why France-Visas wants a flight reservation
Embassies ask for the itinerary to confirm your dates line up with the visa you are requesting and that you intend to leave before it expires. They do not require a paid ticket — most, including France-Visas, actively advise against buying one before approval.
Local details for Shimla applicants
From Shimla we regularly issue reservations for France departures via SLV. The PDF you receive is the airline-format itinerary (not a screenshot), which is what VFS Global Chandigarh (nearest) expects to see clipped to your application.
What to include in your France visa file
France-Visas via VFS Global / TLScontact processes the France visa; the file should include a flight reservation (paid ticket not required), hotel proof, insurance and itinerary. Note that decisions typically within 15 days; longer in summer. A dummy ticket satisfies the flight component without a paid fare.

Common errors on the flight itinerary
- Trying to board with it. A reservation is for documentation only. It cannot be used to fly.
- Mismatched dates. Flight, hotel and insurance dates must agree with the application form. Fix the dates first, then order.
- Calling it a paid ticket. It is a reservation. Say so if asked — that is precisely what the checklist requests.
- Skipping the hotel. Several posts want accommodation proof alongside the flight. A dummy hotel booking can be added on the same order.
Questions from Shimla applicants
Is a dummy ticket accepted for a France visa application from Shimla?
Yes. France-Visas via VFS Global / TLScontact asks for a flight reservation or itinerary, not a paid ticket. A dummy ticket with a live PNR is precisely that document and is used by applicants from Shimla every day.
Can I use the same dummy ticket for two applications?
No — each application should carry a fresh reservation with matching dates. Reusing an expired itinerary is a common reason for questions at the counter.
Can the visa officer verify the booking?
Yes — enter the PNR and surname on the airline's Manage Booking page and the itinerary appears with confirmed status. We recommend doing this yourself before the appointment.
What if my France visa is refused?
You lose nothing on the flight — no cancellation fees, because nothing was purchased. That is the whole point of a reservation.
How long does the reservation stay valid?
Long enough to cover a normal review window. Book 1–3 days before your appointment so the PNR is live when checked. If your appointment moves, place a fresh order for the new dates.
