Visa Booking FAQ — Answers About Flight Reservations & Travel Documents
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a connecting flight?
Connecting flight is a type of flight which it's route requires passengers to change from one plane or airline to another at an intermediate stop on the way to the final destination. This extra stop is actually preferred by many travelers today due to its lower price compared to a direct flight type.
Bear in mind, having a connecting flight through certain countries may involve a transit-visa. Make sure you have sufficient documentation and a visa for transit in those countries that are on your flight to your final destination. Alternatively at bookforvisa.com, you can choose to avoid those countries that require a transit visa. In a flight search, just type in the country or countries you wish to avoid and the search result will be filtered to exclude any flights that are connecting through those countries. -
How does reservation for visa application work?
A reservation document records proposed travel details; it is not an issued airline ticket or permission to board. Enter your traveler information, route and dates, review the order, and pay the reservation service fee. That fee does not purchase airfare or pay for a hotel stay.
Before ordering, check the current official checklist for your destination, visa category and application location. Check the booking reference, current status and any expiry or ticketing deadline before submission. Acceptance and visa approval are not guaranteed. If the instructions require an issued ticket, do not assume a reservation meets that requirement.

Send the complete stamped and signed rejection letter and relevant documents to support@bookforvisa.com. After inspection and acceptance, the refund is issued within 3 business days to the original payment method. A visa refusal does not automatically qualify, and no cancellation fee does not mean an automatic refund. See https://bookforvisa.com/terms for the full conditions.
-
