itinerary or dummy ticket is required for schengen
when you are applying for schegen visa they must ask you for your return ticket reservation.In early time they might ask you only itinerary and later they might ask you for electronic ticket to provide. So we don't recommend you buy full ticket and take risk of loosing your hard earned money. We recommend you to buy a dummy ticket from here for 5usd only which will solve your problem. you will also not lose full ticket amount in case of visa rejection.
What is a dummy ticket?
A dummy ticket is a reservation only of a real ticket which requires you later to pay full amount otherwise your reservation will get cancelled automaticaly.You can use it for applying to visa or as a proof of your onward travel to avoid risking full ticket amount.
Why Embassies need onward ticket proof
Embassies need proof of onward travel to avoid foreign citizens for overstaying in their country(shengen state).
Do dummy ticket work for schengen visa application?
Yes, they only need you to provide a reservation and dummy air ticket only. Its not mandatory to buy full ticket to present to them. They ask for itinerary and reservation only to present as a proof. So buying a full ticket will be a foolish thing to do for it.
