What Does the Schengen Travel Itinerary Include and Do US Citizens Need a Travel Itinerary?

 

Your travel itinerary will commonly consist of your flight itinerary and proof of accommodation. Both of these documents will help support the reason for your trip to the Schengen Area.

A flight itinerary is a suggested route for your flight, whereas proof of accommodation (or hotel itinerary) is where you plan to stay in the Schengen Area.

A travel itinerary can also include other relevant details, such as scheduled tours or activities that you plan to do. These minute details can help support your intended trip to the Schengen Area. However, Embassy officials will commonly ask for a complete Flight Itinerary and Proof of Accommodation during your visa appointment.

Quick note: During the Schengen Visa application process, you'll need to gather and submit each document separately.

Do US Citizens Need a Travel Itinerary?

US citizens enjoy the benefit of visa-free travel to plenty of countries, including the 26 Schengen Countries. Meaning, they don't need to go through the tedious process of applying for a Schengen Visa. Instead, US citizens only need to gather a few documents like their passport and proof of sufficient funds. After that, they can travel to their desired destination. However, US citizens will still need to go through the countries border control, where their passports will be stamped for entry. During this process, authorities always have the right to ask a foreign national what the purpose of their trip is, and if they can't present a valid reason, they may risk being sent back to their home country.

So, to avoid any delays or frustrations, I highly recommend that you carry with you a complete travel itinerary that will help support the purpose of your visit. Furthermore, this will also indicate that you plan to travel back to your home country.

Do US Green Card Holders Need a Flight Itinerary?

Yes. Unlike US citizens, US Green Card Holders don't enjoy the benefit of visa-free travel to the Schengen Area. Meaning, they need to apply for Schengen Visa. One of the required documents for the Schengen Visa is a complete travel itinerary.

In the Schengen Visa Itinerary, we are providing Flight Itinerary, Hotel Booking and Travel Insurance Services also for the Schengen Area.
