The requirement

Does France ask for a hotel booking?

On the official checklist

Proof of accommodation is required from all applicants: hotel reservations or a holiday rental, or a host's proof of private accommodation. Travellers to several member states need it for each.

“Hotel reservations, rental of holiday home or campus residence reservation.”
No VFS overview or checklist was supplied for France (online application via france-visas.gouv.fr, VFS for biometrics). Based on the harmonised EU list of supporting documents for short-stay visa applicants in India (Commission Implementing Decision C(2020) 3328) and the official France-Visas fee schedule and India page, consulted November 2026.

Indian citizens need a Schengen visa for a holiday in France. The application is started online on the France-Visas portal, then the file and biometrics are submitted in person at a VFS Global centre in India; the French consular authorities decide. The documents follow the harmonised Schengen list for applicants in India: transport and itinerary, accommodation, funds and employment proof.

Before you apply

Getting the France itinerary right

A visa officer reads your flight, hotel and application form together. They should tell one story.

  1. 01

    Use the France-Visas online wizard to generate the exact document list for your case before the appointment.

  2. 02

    If you combine France with Switzerland, Italy or Spain, show accommodation in each country and make France the longest stay.

  3. 03

    Arrange the file in checklist order; the France-Visas India page asks for this.

  4. 04

    Keep entry and exit dates the same across the online form, flight reservation, hotel reservations and insurance.

  5. 05

    Bank statements should be originals stamped and signed by the bank.

Questions

France hotel booking FAQ

How much is a hotel booking for a France Schengen visa?

₹590 per hotel, taxes included, however many guests are staying. A trip with two cities and two hotels is ₹1,180.

Will every traveller's name be on the hotel booking?

Yes. The confirmation lists each guest as spelled in the passport, with check-in and check-out dates and the property's address and contact details, which is what a visa officer looks for.

Do I pay the hotel for the room?

No. You pay only our ₹590 service fee. You do not prepay the room, so you are not out of pocket for accommodation while the France visa decision is pending.

Is a hotel booking required for a France visa?

Yes. Proof of accommodation is on the harmonised list, as hotel reservations, a holiday rental or a host's accommodation proof, and for each member state you visit.

When should I apply for a France tourist visa?

Under the Schengen Visa Code you can apply up to six months before the trip and should apply at least 15 days before. The supplied material gives no France-specific processing time, so check the official page and allow a wide margin.

Do I apply for a France visa online or at VFS?

Both. The form is completed online on the France-Visas portal, and then you attend a VFS Global centre in India in person with your documents and for biometrics.
