Why Bangladeshi Travelers Need Dummy Tickets
Bangladesh is one of the countries whose citizens require visas for most international destinations. Whether you're applying for a Schengen visa, UK visa, Canada visa, or visas for Southeast Asian countries, almost every embassy requires proof of a flight itinerary as part of your application.
Buying a real airline ticket before your visa is approved is a major financial risk. If your visa gets rejected, you could lose lakhs of taka on non-refundable tickets. This is where a dummy ticket becomes essential.

Based on visa application patterns, here are the destinations Bangladeshi travelers most commonly need dummy tickets for:
