You do not need to purchase a ticket if you are planning a trip and wish to apply for a visa. By visiting Manage My Booking or Manage My Trip on the airline's website, you can confirm its bookable reference number, or PNR. Everything will proceed as planned when you apply for a visa, provide proof of return, renew your passport, rent a car, and complete other duties. Whoa! You may get a validated dummy ticket in 10 minutes for about INR 800/$10.
