Enter the traveller’s name exactly as it appears in the passport used for the visa application.

Correct travel dates

Make sure check-in and check-out dates align with the intended itinerary and application details.

Review the cancellation deadline, refund conditions and any non-refundable amount before paying.

Check whether the reservation is prepaid, pay-later, deposit-only or subject to payment at the property.
