Visa for France - showing actual hotel booking?
I am in UK planning to apply for Schengen visa via French Embassy. The application document requirements for the visa states that you are required to submit:
Proof of Hotel reservation confirmation required from the actual hotels throughout the whole itinerary showing the hotel's full contact details, proof of payment and applicant's name
However I am planning to get the hotel booking done from booking.com as it is convenient and has better offers. Will that be acceptable for visa submission? Is it ok to submit the confirmation from booking.com as long as it states my name and complete hotel details (name, location..)?
Best Answer
An online booking confirmation (usually sent to your email after confirming your transaction with booking.com) is enough. I did this last year. Just be sure to send the details address + contact number of the hotel.
