Greece Schengen visa checklist for Indian applicants

Every item of the Greece tourist-visa checklist for applicants in India, as printed, with the two lines people ask about most picked out: the flight reservation and the proof of accommodation.

Updated 10 Nov 2026Reviewed by Narinder Chahal, Director, Pro Lifeset Overseas Private Limited

THE QUICK ANSWER

For flights, the Greece tourist checklist prints: “Flight reservation of return or round ticket. If the applicant is travelling to several Schengen States, proof of intra-Schengen flight reservation, train itinerary or car rental.” This line asks for a flight reservation. It does not ask for a paid ticket. For accommodation it prints: “Hotel reservations, rental of holiday home or campus residence reservation. If the applicant intends to stay with a family member or a friend, proof of sponsorship and/or private accommodation from the host. Individual Schengen States may require applicant to present proof of sponsorship and/or private accommodation by completing a form drawn up by the Schengen State's competent authority (hereinafter 'national form'). If applicant is travelling to several Schengen States, proof of lodging in each of them.” This line asks for proof of where you will stay. A confirmed hotel booking in the guests’ names answers it.

Flight reservation: what the Greece checklist says

“Flight reservation of return or round ticket. If the applicant is travelling to several Schengen States, proof of intra-Schengen flight reservation, train itinerary or car rental.”

This line asks for a flight reservation. It does not ask for a paid ticket.

If you visit more than one Schengen country, it also asks for proof of travel between them: a flight reservation, a train itinerary or a car rental.

From DummyTicketDesk: dummy ticket (flight reservation), a genuine airline reservation in each traveller’s name, held without payment, ₹708 incl. GST for the first traveller.

Individual Schengen States may require applicant to present proof of sponsorship and/or private accommodation by completing a form drawn up by the Schengen State's competent authority (hereinafter 'national form').

Every night of the trip has to be covered, in each country you stay in.
Staying with family or friends is answered by the host’s documents instead of a hotel booking.

From DummyTicketDesk: confirmed hotel booking for the nights of your trip, in the guests’ names, ₹590 incl. GST per hotel, arranged with the desk on WhatsApp.

We match the flight, the hotels and your itinerary

An officer reads the flight reservation, the hotel bookings, the insurance and the form side by side. The arrival date, the first check-in, the last check-out and the return flight have to tell one story, with no night missing. That is what the desk does when you order hotel bookings with a flight reservation: each one is matched to your itinerary.

Dummy ticket and hotel bookings, matched to your itinerary

We do not send one loose document. The desk matches the flight reservation and every hotel booking to your itinerary: the same dates, the same cities, and no night left uncovered. These are the real documents of one order for a Switzerland visa file, issued on 5 November 2026: one flight reservation and four hotel bookings that cover all 9 nights between the two flights. Personal details are blacked out; everything else is as issued.
