Embassies and consulates ask for hotel reservations primarily to understand your itinerary. Embassies can also assess your intentions for the trip from your hotel reservations.
Itinerary
Hotel bookings enable the consulates to understand your itinerary, places you plan to visit and the number of days you plan to stay in the country. Using this information, they can assess the purpose and intention of your trip.
Affordability
Embassies can also assess the affordability of the trip based on your proof of accommodation. If your hotel accommodation does not correlate with your financial capacity, it raises questions.
Authenticity
Hotel reservations can give away any abnormalities in your visa application. A genuine traveler would do the research and book their hotels. The booking would look natural and convincing.
Hotel bookings in unpopular areas can alert visa officers to take a closer look at the purpose and intention of your trip.
Should I get a hotel itinerary booking without paying the full price?
You will be charged a small amount of money for booking the room. However, this is better than fully paying for the room, despite that you do not know whether you will be granted a visa for sure or not. In case you do not and you have paid for your stay, you will lose all your money.
However, there are specialized companies such as Schengen Visa Itinerary that will support your visa application by providing you with a dummy hotel booking confirmation for a small fee. This service is completely safe and is the most inexpensive way of dealing with hotel bookings prior to obtaining your visa.
These packages not only include hotel reservation for visa, but other required documents too, such as Flight Booking for Visa Application, Travel Insurance for Visa Application.
There is absolutely no need for you to feel stressed when we can take care of everything, leaving you to enjoy planning your trip!
