So in prepping for an upcoming trip to Africa (contemplating Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Ghana), I will have to apply for some visas in advance.
A frequent requirement for getting these pre-arranged visas is being able to show the air arrangements are sorted before the visa is actually approved. I'd rather just get the visa AND then make air arrangements in case I don't get approved, plus I don't want to commit to certain dates this far out.
What hacks work to make this process less onerous and risky? The YouTube link below shows how to make a dummy reservation seems like it would satisfy the requirements of the embassy bureaucrats. I can't imagine the Ghanaian Embassy will take more than a cursory look at my visa application and then rubber stamp approve it, but I could be wrong.
