A hotelbooking document for the visa application is also a mandatory document. It entails information
that the applicant has booked to avail services in the host nation.
A hotel reservation, or other proof of accommodation
is required as part of the Schengen visa process.
Arisen by the Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 of The
European Parliament and of The Council of 13 July 2009, establishing a
Community Code on Visas known as “Visa Code”, Hotel Booking/Proof of Accommodation is a
rule of the visa application procedure that each Schengen country ought to
apply to their foreign visa seekers.
HotelBooking for Schengen visa application or Proof of
Accommodation falls under the list of supporting documents for a Schengen Visa.
This piece of document is demanded by the staffers of diplomatic offices to
determine that the applicant has accommodation sorted in the destined Schengen
country.
This document assures embassies or consulates that
applicant is able to sustain himself during the course of his stay in the
Schengen Area. Furthermore, Proof of Accommodation also enables diplomatic
staffers to determine the applicant’s travel dates and duration of his stay. If
the applicant is planning to spend 15 days in the Schengen Area, then he must
be able to show that he has accommodation for the aforesaid duration.
The embassies or consulates of Schengen countries
testify this through following pieces of documents:
Invitation
letter: A formal letter issued by the relatives or friends
of the applicant residing in the Schengen Area and attested by the local
authorities.
Proof
of accommodation: Proof regarding the place of stay.
This includes Hotel Booking or Reservation.
In the case of a tourist visa, a visa applicant
needs to provide the details of a pre-paid tour along with details of payments
to the tour operator.
