Important Documents required as Proof of Accommodation for Visa

You can produce either of the documents as proof of accommodation for visa application:

1.       Confirmation letter from the hotel where you are planning to stay or can be a letter of accommodation OR

2.       A certificate of accommodation OR

3.       A proof of accommodation

The basic reason for verifying the proof of accommodation for Schengen visa application is to be certain that the person has a place to stay or sleep in the visiting country.

The verification is performed by the Visa consulates or embassies through the following letters or proofs or certificates:

•        Hotel reservations where you will be staying during the tenure of the visit

•        An invitation letter from a host on the proof of accommodation example if you are staying with a family or a friend

•        A confirmation letter from a tour operator (if you are travelling through a packaged tour) with the payment details

•        An agreement or a contract if planning to stay in rent during the visit

There are few exceptions though depending on the immigration requirements of certain countries. They may only demand a proof to substantiate that you have sufficient money to sustain the tour. In such cases, the documents required for a visa can be a bank statement or a salary proof or an employment letter for example.
