The Do’s and Don’ts of Booking Flights After Visa Approval
Congratulations, your visa has been approved! The next big step is booking your flight—but don’t rush. Many travelers make expensive mistakes at this stage. Whether you’re relocating, studying, or taking a leisure trip, here are the most important do’s and don’ts to follow after your visa comes through.
Do’s
✅ Confirm Your Visa Validity Dates:
Double-check the start and end date of your visa. Some are valid immediately; others start from your entry date.
✅ Compare Multiple Airlines and Routes:
Use platforms like Google Flights, Skyscanner, or a trusted agency like PraisenPam to find the best fares.
✅ Book with Flexibility:
Opt for tickets with refundable or flexible options—especially for first-time travelers or students who may need to change plans.
✅ Choose Flights with Short Layovers:
Long or complicated layovers can increase the risk of missed connections or the need for a transit visa.
Don’ts
❌ Don’t Book Before Receiving Your Visa Physically:
You might know your application was approved, but until your passport is returned, anything could still happen.
❌ Don’t Ignore Transit Visa Requirements:
Passing through Schengen countries or the US may require a separate transit visa, even if you’re not leaving the airport.
❌ Don’t Wait Too Long to Book:
Prices tend to rise closer to your travel date. Once your visa is in hand, start comparing and booking early.
