Flight and Hotel Reservations for a Schengen Visa
The harmonised list asks for a travel reservation or itinerary; the Netherlands says no paid ticket is needed.[1][2] Some provider category lists ask for purchased tickets; check yours.[3] Use genuine bookings: doubtful documents are a standard refusal ground.[4]
