Country-by-country guidance

Visa Travel Reservation Requirements by Country

There is no single rule that every visa application requires a flight or hotel booking. Use the notes below as orientation, then check the current instructions for the authority handling your application.

Schengen

Supporting documents can include accommodation and travel-related evidence, with detailed checklists varying by consulate and jurisdiction.

Canada

Visitor-visa itinerary evidence can include flight details and proof of accommodation among other supporting documents.

United Kingdom

Current visitor guidance treats flight and hotel bookings as less useful evidence for standard visit applications, with different considerations for transit.

Australia

An itinerary may be included with a visitor application, while Home Affairs also advises applicants to book flights after the visa is granted.

Important: Requirements can change and can differ by visa type, nationality and application location. The current instructions from the competent authority take priority over general guidance on this website.
