শেঞ্জেন ভিসা Proof of Accommodation নির্দেশিকাlines
Under Article 14 of the শেঞ্জেন ভিসা Code, every applicant for a short-stay uniform ভিসা must present documentation proving the purpose and conditions of their intended stay, including verified proof of accommodation.
The 'No Gap' Accommodation Rule
The most critical rule enforced across all 29 শেঞ্জেন member states is the zero-gap requirement. From the moment you land at a শেঞ্জেন airport until the moment your departure flight departs, every single night must be accounted for:
- If you arrive in Frankfurt on October 1st at 18:00 and depart from Munich on October 10th at 11:00, you must provide lodging proof covering 9 consecutive nights.
- If traveling overnight on a sleeper train or overnight ferry (e.g., between Vienna and Venice), a confirmed sleeper train ticket covers that specific night and must be included in your file.
Multi-Country Itineraries
If visiting ফ্রান্স, সুইজারল্যান্ড, and ইতালি on one trip, হোটেল রিজার্ভেশনs for each destination must be sequenced logically, matching inter-city ট্রানজিট times. Consular caseworkers map your route to ensure your travel schedule is realistic.
Summary
Ensure your hotel vouchers clearly list all applicants' names and cover 100% of your stay in the শেঞ্জেন zone.
