Every item of the Slovakia 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.

THE QUICK ANSWER

For flights, the Slovakia tourist checklist prints: “1. Proof of intended means of transport and itinerary.” This line asks for proof of how you will travel and your itinerary. It does not ask for a paid ticket. For accommodation it prints: “3. Proof of accommodation: − 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 − If the applicant is travelling to several Member States, proof of accommodation in each of them.” This line asks for proof of where you will stay. A confirmed hotel booking in the guests’ names answers it.

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.
