Hotel booking vs flight itinerary for a visa application
Most visa files ask for both: the itinerary shows how you arrive and leave, the hotel booking shows where you stay in between.
What each document proves
| Flight itinerary | Hotel booking | |
|---|---|---|
| Shows | Entry and exit dates, route | Where you stay each night |
| Typical form | A reservation, often not a paid ticket | A reservation in your name |
| Checked against | Insurance dates, length of stay | Itinerary, cities you'll visit |
Making them match
- Arrival date = first check-in date.
- Departure date = last check-out date.
- For multi-city trips, the check-out in one city equals the check-in in the next.
- Travel insurance covers the full period.
