Why This Document Matters
Schengen visa requires proof of intent to travel on specific dates, but buying non-refundable tickets before approval is risky. A refundable or 'held' booking proves itinerary without financial risk.

Can SureshotVisa help me prepare my flight itinerary / reservation?+
Yes. Our experts review and prepare every document in your visa file — including flight itinerary / reservation — to embassy standards. Talk to us on WhatsApp to get started.
Send us the letter before you submit it.
A licensed consultant will check it against every point above — what is missing, whether the dates agree with the rest of your file, and whether the contact details would survive a verification call. If it is already fine, we will tell you that.
Ready when you are
The template is free. The checking is what you are missing.
Everything above costs you nothing, and you are welcome to it. What a template cannot do is read itself against the rest of your file — and that is where applications actually fail: a date that does not match the ticket, a salary that does not match the bank statement, a signatory the company cannot verify on a call. You are about to spend an embassy fee, a visa-centre fee and a trip on this application. Having a licensed consultant read the paperwork first costs a fraction of any one of them.
