Why Is Proof of Accommodation or Hotel Booking Required for visa Application?

 

Part of the Schengen visa requirements is that you should have a well-defined itinerary and a clearly defined purpose of the trip.  You should also apply at the appropriate consulate based on your itinerary.

Providing proof of accommodation helps the consular officer make sure that you have applied at the appropriate Schengen embassy/consulate as well as the purpose and the duration of your trip is consistent with what you have mentioned in your application form and with rest of the documents.

Hotel Booking

From the list provided above, for most people, it would mean that they would need to show the proof of a hotel booking or reservation.

Compared to the Flight Itinerary for Schengen visa, it much easier to get the proof of a hotel reservation.

You can directly visit the hotel website, ask a local travel agent, or go to the travel web sites. You can book the hotel for your entire stay. It can either be in one city, multiple cities, or even in multiple countries.  Most hotels allow you to make a booking without having to prepay for your stay.  As long as you cancel at least 24 hours in advance, there is no cancellation fee. Of course, all hotels in the Schengen area don’t operate on the same rule. Therefore, you must check with the travel agent or the hotel to make sure what the cancellation rules are.

You don’t really need to book your hotel reservation through websites that are in the business of giving proof of hotel booking for a fee.

Most hotel bookings will come in the form of an email or itinerary print out as a PDF file. Either one is fine, as long it is genuine.

Don’t try to make a fake hotel booking by using some online template.  If the consular officer catches you (which they most likely will), your Schengen visa application will be rejected, and you may not be able to apply again in the future.
