Hi everyone!!

I’m applying for an Italian national student visa from Belarus through the Italian Embassy in Minsk.

For my visa application, I booked temporary accommodation in Cassino through booking com for 20 nights, from September 2 to September 22. The booking confirmation includes my name, the property address, check-in/check-out dates, price, and confirmation number

However, the booking has free cancellation until August 2, and payment is at the property / upon arrival. So it is not prepaid.

My question is: can this type of hotel reservation still be accepted by the Italian embassy as proof of accommodation for a student visa? Or do they usually require a paid booking, rental contract, or a host declaration?
