In order to book a hotel through the global network, you need a plastic bank card, while simple bank cards - Maestro or VISA Electron will not work for this. You need a "classic" electronic card. If you are the owner of a PLATINUM or GOLD card, they are also suitable.
- First you need to choose a suitable hotel.
- After choosing a hotel, you should go to the hotel booking page and fill in your personal data: arrival and departure date, number of rooms, bank card details with which payment is made. It is recommended to first read the booking conditions in this system or hotel. Now you can send your application. Most systems will immediately send you to a page with a confirmation of your application (voucher), which must be printed and presented to the hotel upon arrival.
- After submitting your application, a confirmation will be sent to your email address, which will include your booking details and hotel contact details. A written confirmation of the booking must also be carried with you. If there is visa-free control in this country, then you will need confirmation at customs control. If a visa is required to enter the country, you need to call the hotel and request a confirmation of your reservation by fax. Many embassies require it to issue a visa.
- On specialized resources, you can find different hotels in almost all countries of the world and easily book a room through such a website. Here you will immediately see the number of hotel rooms available at the time of your arrival. You can print the booking confirmation from this site, and the embassies accept this booking calmly. (For example, booking.com)
The confirmation of the reservation must be drawn up on the hotel's letterhead, indicating the name and passport details of the tourist, as well as direct confirmation of the fact that the person has booked rooms for the specified period. Some embassies may ask for confirmation that your reservation has been prepaid. In this case, it is enough if your hotel informs in the sent fax that the booked room has been paid for, and indicates the penalties in case of cancellation of the room.
It should be noted that the embassy requires confirmation of your reservation directly from the hotel, and not from the systems in which you were able to book the hotel. If you made a reservation through the booking system, getting confirmation will become a little more difficult. You will need to send a fax to the hotel, in which it will be written when you received the reservation and through which travel agency, also indicate the bank card details, and ask to send a confirmation of the reservation. Be sure to put your signature on the document.
