Flight reservation guidance
Transit visa applications are entirely about proving onward travel. The reservation showing your departure FROM the transit country (e.g. Dubai to London) is the single most important document. Validity beyond the transit window is unnecessary — 48-hour or 7-day plans suffice.
Common mistake
Confusing transit visa requirements with full entry. If you don't leave the international transit area, you often don't need a transit visa at all. Check the country's transit rules first.
