What is a visa and do I need one?

A visa is official permission to enter a country. Whether you need one depends on your passport, destination, and purpose of travel. Use our visa eligibility checker to confirm requirements for your specific trip.

How long does visa processing take?

Processing times vary widely by country — from a few days (e-visas for Thailand, India, UAE) to several weeks (Schengen, US, UK). Always apply at least 4–6 weeks before travel.

Can Yatra help me apply for a visa?

Yes — Yatra provides visa assistance for most destinations including document preparation, appointment booking, and application review. We also issue PNR-backed dummy tickets accepted by embassies for proof-of-travel.

What is a dummy ticket and when do I need one?

A dummy ticket is a real PNR-backed flight reservation used to satisfy embassy proof-of-travel requirements without committing to a non-refundable booking. Most visa applications require either a confirmed booking or a dummy ticket.
