Can I change my hotel reservation and travel plan after I get Schengen Visa?

Q. I got my Schengen visa from Consulate of Netherlands. I find a better hotel deal and decide to change my hotel reservation for my stay in Netherlands and meanwhile visit more countries in Schengen region than I previously planned. Will that be possible and do I need to inform Consulate of Netherlands about my change.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

A. Do not change either your itinerary or your hotel booking without checking with the Dutch consulate first.

As you can see here in the answer of another person (who is a complete expert at this kind of question. You can see here that there are warnings on the Consulate General website that checks will be made "prior and after the visa has been granted" concerning the hotel booking http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100409073611AAkDLR3 & http://www.ambafrance-uk.org/Visa-website-of-the-French.html#outil_sommaire_8 and as the same registration system applies for all Schengen countries then the same principles apply as well

It is a requirement that you can read on the Dutch embassy site in Pakistan (for example as you did not mention your country) http://www.netherlandsembassy.org.pk/Products_and_Services/Consular_services/Visa/Applying_for_a_Schengen_visa#internelink11 that you must report to the Aliens Police within 72 hours of arrival in NL in the municipality where you are staying and hotels/campsites do this on your behalf. So if the hotel does not not register your stay (which of course if won't if you don't stay there) then the system will pick this up

Contact the Dutch consulate for advice and certainty.

How do I transfer a hotel reservation to another person?
Q. I have a hotel reservation this weekend (Fri/Sat), and would like to offer it to another person. Is this a simple process? Do I simply go to the reservations desk w/ the person to whom I'm transferring the room, etc? It's a very in-demand hotel room (Florida-LSU game), and I'd really like to see this room used by someone I know who needs it (I've made other arrangements and no longer need the room myself).

A. I have done this before on vacation with my sister. We took turns paying for hotel room we stayed in. It was no trouble. Make sure you trust this friend because he could find other arrangements at the last minute.
