There are several scenarios you can make use of temporary bookings:
To
Avoid risking your money : when applying for a visa, there is
always a risk of rejection either because of insufficient information, acts of
god such as pandemic like COVID or your travel plan being cancelled. In such
situations using a flight itinerary & temporary hotel bookings will hedge
you from the risk of losing all your money. Few $$ vs 1000s of $$$$.
Inflexible
Travel Plan: Europe is one of the best continents to
backpack, if you wish you can have your lunch breakfast and dinner in different
countries with the same day. But the barbaric visa laws require to lay out your
entire travel plan for each day including your train tickets and plans. In such
a situation it makes sense to pick just 5 cities across Europe for visa purpose
and once you get your visa you are free since there are no checks once you
enter the Schengen Zone.
No
Appointment Available: Another issue is Schengen has limited
visa appointments. Countries such as France, Italy Switzerland are always full
and if you want an appointment it will be very difficult, In such cases you can
provide a travel plan with flight
itineraries and temporary hotel bookings
and apply with Either Germany or Iceland and once your visa is approved you can
stick back to your normal plan. We can help you get a Schengen visa appointment
Proof
of Financial sustenance : If you book all the flight &
hotel before your get your visa, you will be out of cash and for Schengen visa
and UK visa you need to submit proof of financial ability and it is around EUR
100 per everyday of stay to get your visa approved . If you make all the
bookings, you will be short of cash and your bank statements will show it. Although
you can travel most of Europe around 30 EUR a day.
We recommend making an actual hotel booking for the
first 3 to 4 days and then using temporary booking or
Reservation for other days. You can book as you go.
