Hotel booking for a UK visa application
The UK Standard Visitor visa asks where you will stay during your trip. CloseHotel helps you organise those details into a clear, print-ready accommodation itinerary in a few minutes.
What your accommodation details should show
- Property name and full address for every night of the stay
- Check-in and check-out dates that match your travel dates
- Guest names spelled exactly as they appear in the passport
- A document you can print or attach to the online application
UKVI does not require a paid, non-refundable booking at the application stage. What matters is that the accommodation details you give are consistent with the rest of your application.
Create your itinerary in three steps
- Search your destination city and enter your travel dates.
- Pick a property and room style from real listings.
- Add traveler names and download a print-ready A4 PDF.

Questions travelers ask
Does a UK visa require a paid hotel booking?+
No. The application asks for your intended accommodation details. A provisional itinerary sets out those details clearly; it is not a paid reservation and should not be presented as one.
What if my plans change after applying?+
Accommodation plans can change. Give the details you genuinely intend at the time of applying, and keep them consistent with your stated travel dates.
Is the CloseHotel document issued by the hotel?+
No. It is a planning document created by you. It is not issued or confirmed by the property and does not reserve a room.
