Yes, you can also submit Dummy Hotel Booking as proof of accommodation. Although this method may sometimes be referred to as a fake hotel reservation, this is by no means a fake booking. It's just a booking without paying the price before the approval of the visa application.
There are several answers to this question.
First of all, let’s touch upon the main reason for the need for dummy hotel bookings for visa applications: On most embassy website you will find a list of requirements that you need for your visa application. On each of these requirement lists, you’ll find a few requirements that are the same for almost all countries:
• a hotel booking or reservation for your entire intended stay
• a flight reservation with return flight
It’s not exactly clear why the embassies require this information, because on the same page you will usually find a sentence stating “It is advised against purchasing any tickets before the visa application has been approved.” It can be argued that this might be an outdated requirement, dating from the time when visa agents would book and hold the ticket for you until you confirmed that you wanted it. The other argument is that the embassy and visa officer do need to know your intended travel dates so they can approve your visa accordingly. No matter what the reason behind this requirement though, it is still mandatory and still a requirement you need to oblige to.
The booking is created depending on your travel dates and once you know the outcome of your visa application the hotel reservation dates can be changed or the booking can be cancelled if your visa gets rejected. The added advantage of getting a dummy hotel reservation is you don’t pay for the hotel up front, so you won’t lose any money if your visa gets rejected. There is just a basic service charge to the travel agent who does everything for you.
