However, there is a way to provide the relevant documentation without paying for it! It’s called a dummy hotel booking or reservation. In this article, learn more about hotel bookings for Schengen visas and make applying for a visa easier then ever!

What is a Hotel Reservation for a Schengen Visa?

A hotel reservation proves that you have your accommodation arranged in the country you are planning to visit. It also proves that you are able to sustain yourself financially during your trip. In addition, it confirms your travel dates and the length of your trip. Embassies and consulates take this information n into account when deciding whether to approve your visa application. For example, if you have mentioned your trip will last for 10 days, you need to be able to show that your accommodation also matches the same number of days. This can be done in 3 ways:
1.  Provide an invitation letter from a friend or relative residing in the country you are visiting
2.   Book a reservation with a hotel or hostel and use the confirmation letter as proof of   accommodation
3.   Get a dummy Hotel Reservation through a verified agent
Any of these 3 documents will be accepted by the embassy or consulate as proof of accommodation and will ensure maximum chances of approval. However, you might not be visiting a friend or relative and if you book a reservation with a hotel or hostel, this will cost you money which might not be refunded if your visa gets rejected. So, that leaves a dummy hotel reservation through an agent.
When applying for your Schengen visa, you will find the flight itinerary/reservation as a mandatory document that you need to provide along with other supporting documents.
“Proof of accommodation: One of the following:
– Original Local Police invitation letter from a family member or friend who resides in Spain
– Detailed hotel reservation with the complete address and contact phone number for all Schengen countries where you will be staying. If you are part of a tour or cruise, include a letter from your travel agent stating a complete itinerary of cities and hotels.”
“Proof of the purpose of stay in Croatia:
•             certificate of a paid tourist package;
•             booking of a hotel or other accommodation;
•             private accommodation booking (copy of the decision of the competent office in Croatia  approving the renting)
•             day to day itinerary with ensured accommodation for the entire stay
•             complete Croatian telephone contact and address for all accommodations
•             proof of ownership or lease of a boat/yacht  etc.;
