"I originally used MyJet24 because I did not want to pay for a dummy ticket. That was the only reason. But what actually impressed me was how the PDF looked. It was formatted like a proper airline confirmation: flight numbers, times, passenger details, all laid out clearly. The Italian embassy in Hanoi accepted it without a word. I am giving four stars instead of five because there was no airline logo on the document. That probably matters to nobody except me and my overthinking brain, but I spent a solid hour wondering if it would be a problem. It was not."
A hotel booking confirmation is one of the supporting documents Greece embassies require alongside your flight reservation, financial proof and visa application form. The booking does not need to be paid — a held confirmation showing your full name, dates inside the visa-validity window, hotel address and a confirmation number is sufficient for visa-officer review.
What Greece Visa Officers Look For on Your Hotel Booking
The booking must contain: full passenger name matching your passport, hotel name and exact street address in Greece, check-in and check-out dates that align with your flight itinerary, total nights and a confirmation/reservation reference. MyJet24 produces this format directly from major booking-platform inventories — no fabricated details, no edited screenshots.

Each Greece embassy publishes its own list of required documents. Hotel bookings are universally accepted in held form (Booking.com cancellable rate, hotel-direct hold, MyJet24 PDF). You do NOT need to pay the hotel before submitting your visa application — most embassies explicitly recommend not paying until visa approval.
Greece Schengen Visa Hotel Booking — GVCW & Astynomia Tourist Police 2026
The Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs processes Schengen C visas through the Greek Visa Centre Worldwide (GVCW) partnership with VFS Global and the Hellenic consular network. Greece reported an 8.1% Schengen refusal rate in 2025 — among the lowest in the Schengen Area. The Astynomia Tourist Police (Tουριστική Aστυνομία) at Athens (ATH), Heraklion (HER), Thessaloniki (SKG), Rhodes (RHO), and Santorini (JTR) cross-check declared accommodation against arrival data, particularly during the May–September high season. Greek law requires all licensed hotels and short-term rentals to register foreign guests with the Hellenic Police GDPS database within 24 hours of check-in.
| Greek Consulate | Strictness | Hotel Verification | Peak Season Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athens / Thessaloniki (renewals) | Medium | ~4% | Higher Jun–Sep |
| Mumbai / Beijing / Manila | High | ~9% | Santorini-cruise bias |
| Cairo / Beirut / Amman | High | ~10% | Ferry-route scrutiny |
| Moscow / Istanbul / Tbilisi | Medium-high | ~7% | Rhodes / Crete tourism flows |
Cyclades island tax: The Cyclades islands (Santorini, Mykonos, Naxos) plus Crete impose a €4–€10/night sustainability tax during high season under Law 4276/2014. MyJet24 PDFs include this tax line for season-accurate booking proof.
Athens ATH & Santorini JTR Tourist Police Hotel Checks 2026
Athens Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) handles 70% of Greek international air arrivals. Tourist Police accommodation spot-checks run on around 5% of non-Schengen passport arrivals, climbing to around 9% during the May–September high season at Heraklion (HER) Crete and Santorini Thira (JTR) — the island airports with the heaviest cruise-and-ferry connections.
