When planning international travel, one of the most common questions travelers ask is: “Do I need to book my flight and hotel before applying for a visa?” The answer depends on the destination country, visa type, and the specific requirements of its immigration authorities. Whether it’s essential to have flight and hotel booking for visa application can vary significantly.
However, having a well-organized travel plan often increases your chances of visa approval.
At BFD Global Travels, we understand how confusing visa applications can be.
That’s why we’re here to guide you every step of the way — from organizing your travel itinerary to booking your flights and accommodation, ensuring that everything aligns with your visa requirements and travel goals.
Is Flight and Hotel Booking Always Required?
The truth is, many embassies require proof of travel arrangements to assess your intention to return home.
This usually includes:
- A round-trip flight reservation (not necessarily a paid ticket).
- A hotel booking confirmation or proof of accommodation.
That said, you don’t always need to purchase the flight and hotel in full before receiving your visa.
In fact, buying non-refundable tickets before your visa is approved could be risky if your application is delayed or denied.
What You Actually Need
Instead of confirmed (paid) tickets, many embassies accept flight itineraries and hotel reservations for visa processing.
These are essentially temporary bookings that show your travel intentions without committing financially.
At BFD Global Travels, we provide:
- Verified flight itineraries accepted by most embassies.
- Hotel reservations that meet visa requirements, including booking references and duration of stay.
- Support documents to help prove your travel plans are genuine and well-organized.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if the embassy asks for a paid flight ticket?
In rare cases, some embassies may request a paid ticket. We advise on when this applies and help you make safe bookings if needed.
Q: Can I cancel the bookings after visa approval?
Yes, our flight and hotel reservation services are usually flexible and cancelable. After your visa is approved, you can then decide to confirm or change your travel plans.

We recommend getting your travel itinerary and hotel bookings ready at least 2–3 weeks before your visa appointment.
