Can We Make a Dummy Hotel Reservation? And When Do We Have to Pay the Whole Amount of Money for The Accommodation?

 

If you have some basic research and photoshopping skills, you can find online tons of hotel reservation templates and edit them to fit your stay dates in the Schengen Area and details.

In addition, you may find online services or a fake hotel reservation generator that offers you free Dummy Hotel Reservations or very cheap ones, so you do not risk losing money in case your visa application is rejected.

They look genuine and save you a lot of money if you intend to, i.e. sleep in your car or camp outside. 

If the consular officers find out that you provided a fake document, you will face quite some consequences, including:

•        Your visa application will be automatically rejected.

•        You will lose all the money you spend on visa fees, obtaining other documents, and Flight Reservations (if they weren’t fake too).

•        You will risk your future applications to the Schengen area, as you will be registered in the Schengen databases as a person who provided false information to the Schengen authorities.

•        Even if you get a visa to the Schengen territory in the future, you have higher chances than other people to be rejected from entering at any of the Schengen ports of entry.

Therefore, carefully think about your situation and evaluate whether it is better to risk losing a bit of money by providing a real hotel reservation or risk facing the consequences listed above by submitting a fake hotel reservation or one obtained from a fake hotel reservation generator.

When Do I Have to Pay the Whole Amount of Money for My Accommodation?

When booking through online Hotel Booking agencies such as Schengen Visa Itinerary, you will not be charged with the whole amount of financial obligation or for the whole days of your stay. Meaning that you will be only charged with a deposit for the reservation fee by the hotel where you choose to make your booking for a visa application.

If you get awarded a visa, you will be paying the entire fee for the duration of your stay in the hotel once you check in or check out at the hotel. However, the hotel will reimburse the sum of money you credited for the booking when you pay your hotel.
