Dummy hotel booking for visa

Almost every checklist that asks for a flight itinerary asks for accommodation proof in the next line. A dummy hotel booking is the accommodation equivalent of a dummy ticket: a genuine reservation at a real property, held rather than prepaid, with a confirmation number the consulate can verify.

Why not just book on a hotel site and cancel?

Many people do, and it half-works. The risks are that free-cancellation inventory is often auto-cancelled if the card is not charged, that the booking may lapse before your appointment, and that some properties will not confirm a reservation to a third party who calls. A held reservation issued for this purpose is stable for the window you need and confirmable.

What you get

• A confirmation voucher naming the property, address, and confirmation number
• Guest names matching your passports and your flight itinerary
• Check-in and check-out dates covering every night of your stay
• Delivered by email and WhatsApp alongside your flight reservation

Getting the dates right

This is where applications come unstuck. Your accommodation must cover the whole period between the arrival date and the departure date on your flight itinerary — every night, with no gaps. If you are moving between cities on a Schengen trip, you need cover for each city, and the officer will read them in sequence. If you are staying with family for part of the trip, that portion needs an invitation letter rather than a booking, and the dates still have to add up.

To order, book your flight reservation first, then message us on WhatsApp with the city and dates. Pricing starts at ₹799 per stay.
