VFS Global Submission: Flight & Hotel Checklist
VFS Global is the primary outsourced visa service partner for dozens of governments worldwide, handling intake for Schengen countries, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Arriving at your VFS appointment with an organized travel dossier is critical to ensuring your documents are accepted smoothly.
The Role of VFS Global Intake Officers
It is important to remember that VFS intake staff do not make visa decisions; their role is strictly administrative. They review your file against a mandatory checklist set by the client embassy. If a required document—such as a flight itinerary or hotel booking—is missing, inconsistent, or unreadable, the intake officer may refuse to accept your application or mark your file as 'Incomplete', which can prejudice consular review.
The Essential VFS Travel Dossier Checklist
- Printed Flight Itinerary: Clean, high-resolution printout of your round-trip flight reservation showing full names, dates, airlines, and 6-character PNR code.
- Proof of Accommodation: Hotel vouchers covering every single night from arrival to departure. Every applicant's name must be clearly highlighted or printed on the vouchers.
- Day-by-Day Travel Itinerary: A 1-page structured schedule summarizing your daily sightseeing, transport between cities, and corresponding hotel names.
- Schengen Medical Insurance: Policy document showing minimum €30,000 coverage, zero deductible (or compliant excess), and dates covering the full flight itinerary.
