Flight reservation guidance
Family visit applications need flight dates aligned with the sponsor's invitation letter. If the sponsor invites you for "October 1 to December 15," your reservation must show exactly those dates. Choose 14-day validity since family-visit processing can be slower than tourist visas.
Common mistake
Listing a hotel address while a family member is sponsoring you. The sponsor's home address goes in the accommodation field — embassies cross-reference this with the invitation letter.
