Flight reservation guidance

Business visa applicants benefit from clean, professional-looking flight reservations on major IATA carriers. Avoid bare-bones budget routings — they look inconsistent with a business traveler profile. Multiple-entry visas often require multiple reservation segments demonstrating travel patterns.

Common mistake

Submitting a flight reservation that doesn't match the dates on the invitation letter. The two documents must align precisely — even a single day mismatch triggers re-submission requests.
