"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 Poland 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 Poland 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 Poland, 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 Poland 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.
Poland Schengen Visa Hotel Booking — UDSC & Straż Graniczna Rules 2026
The Office for Foreigners (Urząd do Spraw Cudzoziemców — UDSC) at udsc.gov.pl handles residency, while Schengen short-stay visas go through VFS Global. Poland processed 1.1 million Schengen visa applications in 2025 — the second-highest in the EU after France — and reported a refusal rate of around 14.9%, driven by high Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Russian application volumes. Straż Graniczna (Border Guard) officers cross-check hotel proof at WAW Warsaw, KRK Kraków, GDN Gdańsk, KTW Katowice, and the eastern land borders.
| Poland Pathway | Refusal Rate | Hotel Required? | Karta Pobytu Need |
|---|---|---|---|
| Schengen C (Tourism) | 14.9% | Mandatory PDF | No |
| D Visa Long-Stay | 8.3% | First-stay hotel | Apply 30 days post-arrival |
| Poland Business Harbour | ~5% | First 3 months | Yes — tech relocation |
| Karta Polaka holders | ~3% | Visa-free | Eligible for fast-track |
