The requirement

Does Italy ask for a hotel booking?

On the official checklist

An accommodation reservation (hotel or Airbnb) covering the travel dates and confirmed on the booking website is required. If you visit other Schengen countries, bookings for those are needed too; private visits need the host's invitation letter in the official format with ID.

Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay visa to visit Italy for tourism or to see friends and family. Applications go through VFS Global and are decided by the Italian consular office for your state of residence. The consulate checks the cover letter, confirmed accommodation, round-trip travel and three months of stamped bank statements.

Before you apply

Getting the Italy itinerary right

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

01
Italy wants proof of internal Schengen travel as well, so add train or car rental bookings if you move between cities or countries.
02
Give your own phone number and email on the form; the checklist rejects contact details that belong to an agent.
03
Name every co-traveller in the cover letter with passport number, relationship and visa or appointment details.
04
Check which Italian consulate covers your state and carry six months of address proof if your passport was issued elsewhere.
05
Get every page of the bank statement stamped and sealed by the bank, in original.

Questions

Italy hotel booking FAQ

How much is a hotel booking for a Italy 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 Italy visa decision is pending.

What hotel booking does Italy accept?

A hotel or Airbnb reservation that covers your travel dates and is confirmed on the booking website. If you also visit other Schengen countries, the bookings for those countries must be submitted too.

Do I need to show travel inside the Schengen area?

Yes. Besides the round-trip flight, the checklist asks for proof of all internal travel within the Schengen territory, including train bookings and car rentals.
