ORIGINAL POSTER

Help! Applying for a (necessary) METV and have a genuine flight booking into the country but unsure when I'm booking a return trip out at the moment. Can I use one of those dummy tickets as proof of ticket out ? If not does anyone know the cheapest refundable airline ticket...this is soooo stressful! Helpful advice only please 😜🙏

Sorry if you think I'm being a pain - I find this very stressful. I didn't think this was the same question as I now bought a ticket in but its the ticket out I'm unsure about. Thanks for the advice about the screen shot I will try that.

You have ASKED this several times..

And have received good helpful answers.

We don't talk about fake airline tickets

But you can book online, take a screen shot of the planned itinerary and don't buy the ticket.
