How do I provide proof of my travel itinerary if I plan to travel by train or car between countries?
Outbound Team
If you’re planning to travel by train or car within the Schengen Area, you can still provide a clear travel itinerary — even without flight tickets. Embassies just need to see a logical and verifiable travel plan that matches your accommodation and trip dates.
Here’s how you can show it 👇
🚆 1. For train travel:
• Include train reservations or sample schedules (from sites like Rail Europe, Deutsche Bahn, or SNCF).
• Make sure the dates and routes align with your hotel bookings and visa duration.
🚗 2. For car travel (self-drive or rental):
• Provide a car rental booking or confirmation with pickup and drop-off details.
• If using your own vehicle, include your vehicle registration, insurance, and driving license copy.
• Mention the travel route and estimated dates in your written itinerary.
🗓️ 3. Written itinerary summary:
Prepare a short document listing:
• Cities you’ll visit
• Dates in each city
• Mode of transport (train/car)
• Accommodation addresses
