Schengen visa: Is a festival ticket proof of accommodation?

Question

I'm going to portugal for the Boom festival for a week. I know I'll need to provide proof of accommodation for the duration of my stay.. but I'm camping out at a festival! Any ideas?

Answer 1

I would imagine it's ok. Is there something that proves you'll be staying in the campsite? You'll probably need to give the address of the festival's campsite.

Answer 2

It really depends on your citizenship&country of origin.

I've personally known applicants who were denied a Schengen visa even with the proof of accommodation provided and in some cases official confirmation of their participation in professional congresses, seminars, or other business related affairs. This of course because their passport was obviously not desirable in the Schengen zone.

So I think you'll have to ask personally if you want to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Answer 3

Are you aloud to travel abroad?
