Does Bulgaria Require Proof of Return Flight? 2026

For a Bulgaria tourist visa, embassies usually want proof of onward travel and proof of accommodation up front. A dummy ticket plus a hotel reservation covers both — without locking in real bookings.

What is a dummy ticket?

A dummy ticket is a flight itinerary document you attach to a visa application as proof of planned onward travel — a 2-page PDF built from a Trip.com flight link. The reference number is a Yatra For Fun document number, not an airline PNR, so it will not appear on an airline's Manage Booking page.

Does Bulgaria require a flight or hotel reservation for the visa?

Many Bulgaria visa applicants are asked for a flight reservation, and often a hotel booking, at submission. A dummy ticket and hotel reservation satisfy these without committing to non-refundable costs before approval. Always confirm the current checklist on the official Bulgaria embassy or e-visa portal.

The Type C — Tourist (Schengen Uniform Visa) allows a stay of Up to 90 days within any 180-day period from the date of first entry into the Schengen Area, with processing around 15 working days standard (10 working days minimum); urgent applications expedited to 7–10 days. Apply via the official portal (https://www.mfa.bg/en/services-travel/consular-services/travel-bulgaria/visa-bulgaria (Bulgarian MFA visa hub) · https://visa.vfsglobal.com (VFS Global Bulgaria — Type C intake partner for India / Nepal applicants) · https://www.mfa.bg/en/embassies/india (Embassy of Bulgaria in New Delhi)). Almost every Bulgaria application expects proof of onward travel and accommodation — exactly what a dummy ticket and hotel reservation provide.

Proof of accommodation for your Bulgaria visa

Alongside the flight reservation, a hotel booking confirmation shows where you will stay. Our dummy hotel document is a hotel reservation PDF (not a confirmed booking) with hotel, dates and occupancy filled in, and the travel itinerary ties your trip together day by day.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real airline reservation for my Bulgaria visa file?

No — it is a reservation document (PDF) for your visa file, not an airline ticket or confirmed booking. The reference number is a Yatra For Fun document number, not an airline PNR, so it will not appear on an airline's Manage Booking page. Embassy requirements differ: many accept an itinerary document, some ask for a held airline reservation. Check your embassy's checklist before you apply. It is intended for your visa file, not for boarding.

How much does a dummy ticket for a Bulgaria visa cost?

A dummy flight ticket is NPR 999. Add a hotel for NPR 1499 total, or all three documents for NPR 1999.

How fast will I get it?

Usually within about 30 minutes after payment via Nabil Bank QR. Send your details on WhatsApp and we email the PDF.

Will Bulgaria definitely accept it?

Many embassies accept dummy reservations as proof of onward travel and stay, but acceptance depends on the embassy and visa class — always confirm the official Bulgaria requirements first.
