Frequently asked questions
Is proof of accommodation the same as a hotel booking?
No. A hotel reservation is one form of accommodation evidence, but private hosting or other accepted arrangements may also apply.
Can accommodation evidence be fabricated?
It should not be. Submit accurate evidence that reflects your actual intended stay.
