Flight reservation guidance
For tourist visas, the flight reservation needs to show realistic dates aligned with your stated itinerary. Avoid showing peak-season flights with limited financial documentation — embassies look for consistency between your travel plans and your means to fund them. The 7-day or 14-day validity plan works well, depending on appointment scheduling.
Common mistake
Listing a return date months after arrival without justifying the length of stay in your application. Tourist visas have implicit duration expectations; mismatch is a flag.
