FlightProof onward ticket reservations are accepted for visa applications, visa-on-arrival requirements, and immigration entry requirements in 50+ countries worldwide. Your PNR code is verifiable by embassy and immigration officials, making it a valid proof of onward travel for virtually any visa process.
How Onward Tickets Are Used in Visa Applications
When applying for a tourist visa, visa-on-arrival, or electronic travel authorization (eTA), many countries require you to demonstrate that you will leave before your authorized stay expires. An onward ticket reservation satisfies this requirement by showing:
- A confirmed airline booking with your name matching your passport
- A verifiable PNR code that embassy officials can check in the GDS system
- A departure date within the allowed visa-free or visa-stay period
- A valid departure route from the country you're visiting

- Your flight details (departure airport, destination, date, time)
- The airline and flight number
- The booking status — showing as an active, confirmed reservation
