Submit your application through TLScontact in Abuja or Lagos; the Consulate General of Italy in Lagos handles the applications. The Nigeria supporting-document list accepts a copy of a flight ticket or a flight reservation that includes the return flight. A genuine reservation with a PNR is a useful choice; the wording does not require you to buy a ticket solely for submission.

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.

Where to apply
TLScontact receives applications in Abuja and Lagos for the Consulate General of Italy in Lagos.
What to show for your flights
Show your journey to Italy and the return flight. The published Nigeria supporting-document list accepts either a ticket copy or a flight reservation.
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.
