Ordinary short-stay tourist applications are generally lodged by appointment at the German Consulate General in Lagos. The German mission describes limited special cases for Abuja. Prepare a flight reservation or booking and a detailed travel itinerary. A genuine PNR reservation is a practical option, but the tourist guidance does not require a booked, paid ticket or expressly mandate a PNR.

Recommended Flight Itinerary Type

Based on the guidance linked above, we recommend considering a flight reservation with a PNR to show your planned travel. Tripenger’s PNR package includes an airline booking reference, subject to airline availability. The guidance does not explicitly require a PNR, so please check the latest requirements with the relevant visa authority before ordering.

Choose Your Package and Order Your Flight Itinerary

If you live in Nigeria and are applying for a short-stay Germany Schengen visa, match your flight evidence to the visa authority’s document list and your actual travel plans.

Where to apply

For an ordinary short-stay tourist application, the German Consulate General in Lagos is generally responsible; Abuja is for limited special cases.

What to show for your flights

Provide a flight reservation or booking with the dates and route of your planned trip, along with a detailed travel itinerary. You do not need to buy a ticket just to lodge the tourist application.

Choosing an itinerary

For this route, a genuine reservation with a PNR is our practical recommendation. PNR means a flight booking reference, not an issued ticket number. The published guidance does not state a separate universal PNR requirement.

Before you submit

Check the mission’s appointment instructions for your specific case, especially if you believe an Abuja exception applies.
