Does a tourist visa require an air ticket order?

No need, just want to know? The purpose of the specific itinerary is to prove that it is tourism, not immigration. So the stronger the evidence, the better. If there are air tickets and hotel orders, of course it is evidence. But if you have enough other materials, you don't need them.

How to apply for a tourist visa abroad:

According to the country you want to go to, choose the corresponding embassy in China to submit a visa application.

The materials usually needed are: visa application form, visa fee, travel economic guarantee (500-65438+10,000 yuan), round-trip air ticket, passport, passport photo, ID card, leave certificate given by the company and so on.
