If you are not a South African citizen, bring your South African residence or work permit and check that it allows you to return after your visit.

A PNR is a booking reference for a flight reservation. It does not by itself mean that a flight ticket has been issued. A ticketed itinerary includes a ticket number.

Frequently asked questions

What flight evidence does Germany request for a tourist visa?
The German tourism checklist requests a round-trip flight reservation and a written itinerary with destinations and dates. Tripenger recommends a genuine reservation with a booking reference (PNR). Keep the dates consistent with your accommodation.
Where can I apply for a German visa in South Africa?
Apply through TLScontact. The German Missions list centres in Bloemfontein, Centurion, Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth. Use the checklist for your travel purpose when preparing your appointment.
What should I check if I hold a foreign passport and live in South Africa?
Bring your South African residence or work permit and check that it allows you to return after your trip. Follow the relevant German checklist for the full supporting documents.
What is the difference between a schedule, a PNR reservation and a ticketed itinerary?
A schedule shows your planned flights without a PNR. A PNR reservation includes a booking reference but does not by itself mean a ticket has been issued. A ticketed itinerary includes an issued ticket number. Choose the document that meets the instructions for your application.
Does a flight itinerary guarantee visa approval?
No. A flight itinerary is one part of your supporting evidence. The visa authority assesses your full application and makes the decision.
