Accommodation Plan for Visa: Template & What to Include

What is an accommodation plan for a visa?

An accommodation plan for a visa application is a short document that states where you plan to stay during your trip: city, dates, and the type or name of accommodation (e.g. a hotel in the city center or a specific hotel name with “or similar”). Many embassies accept this when you have not yet made a confirmed booking, as long as it is clear that it is a plan for visa purposes and that actual accommodation may be booked after the visa is granted.

What to include

• Your name and passport number.

• Destination city and country.

• Planned check-in and check-out dates.

• Planned accommodation (e.g. “Hotel Paris Centre (or similar)” or “accommodation in central Paris”).

• A note that alternative accommodation may be booked after visa approval.

• A clear disclaimer: this is for visa application purposes only; no booking has been confirmed.
