Proof of accommodation is a document showing where you will be staying during your trip. Consulates ask for it when you file a visa application, and some countries check it at the border. GetHotelProof books a real, refundable hotel in your name, sends the confirmation as a PDF with the address, the dates and the name of every traveler, then cancels the booking before the deadline. From $12.90, in six languages.
Visa application at a consulate
Schengen, British and American consulates ask for proof of accommodation covering every night of the stay, submitted with the rest of the file. GetHotelProof books a real, refundable hotel in your name, then sends you the confirmation as a PDF with the property address, the dates and the name of every traveler.
Digital nomad visa
The nomad visas of Portugal and Spain, or the Thailand DTV, ask for an accommodation address while nothing is settled yet. A genuine booking lets you complete the file without locking up several hundred euros in a hotel you won't be staying in.
Student visa
Student visas are filed before you have signed for housing. Erasmus, the American F-1, the British Tier 4: each one asks for proof of accommodation at submission. A hotel confirmation covers the first nights and leaves you time to find a room once you arrive.
Family or group
One document for everyone. GetHotelProof takes up to 9 travelers per order and puts every name on the same confirmation, which is what consulates ask for on family applications. It is $12.90 for the first traveler, then $5 per additional person.
Last-minute appointment
Consulate appointment tomorrow and no proof of accommodation. The booking goes through immediately after payment and the PDF arrives by email straight after. No file to assemble, no agency to call, no processing delay.
Backpacking and multi-country trips
Several countries, no fixed dates. Booking and canceling yourself at every border means tracking a different cancellation policy each time. GetHotelProof covers up to 2 cities per order and handles the cancellation before the deadline.
Border crossing and transit
Some countries check accommodation on arrival rather than at the consulate. Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines can ask for a stay address at the border post. Our checker shows, for 37 countries, who checks, at what point, and what you risk without proof.
Business travel
A business visa asks for proof of accommodation while the company has not booked yet, or houses its staff elsewhere. A real hotel confirmation completes the file without committing the travel budget before the consulate approves.
Travel and visa agencies
Travel agencies and specialist firms put together several applications a week. Each order stands on its own, with no account to create and no subscription, and the confirmation is issued in the end client's name with their dates and their itinerary.
Reapplying after a refusal
An application refused for insufficient accommodation can be filed again quickly. A booking in the applicant's name, the full property address, dates covering the whole stay: the confirmation carries the details consulates check first, so you are not refused twice for the same reason.
Check what your destination requires
The checker tells you, for 37 countries, whether a hotel confirmation is requested, by whom and at what point. The blog covers the requirements consulate by consulate.
