Happened to me. Just bought a flexible ticket for a few hundred quid more. Approved next day.

It's usually a positive sign that proves you're showing commitment. Wait a week to 10 days and hopefully you'll be successful.🤞

Buy the ticket with all the cancellable and change options available. Its not unreasonable to ask for this

But those options make the ticket much more expensive.

What was the precise words the embassy wrote

London is known to ask for an actual plane ticket while most other embassies just want flight details
Elías ********
DTV_BegPecker Seoul also asked for me actual real plane tickets

Buy a plane ticket? It didn't work without so... The requirements are constantly changing and becoming stricter. If they ask for a plane ticket, I believe you’ll need to provide one to avoid being denied.
