Your Nigerian state of residence determines where to apply. Residents of FCT Abuja or the 18 other states named by NetherlandsWorldwide use the Belgian TLScontact centre in Abuja; residents of other states use the French TLScontact centre in Lagos. The Dutch tourism checklist accepts a reservation in your name or another document showing your travel plans and says a paid ticket is unnecessary. A schedule without a PNR is an option under that wording, but the receiving centre or decision maker may ask for a reservation. Check the instructions for your assigned centre before choosing the schedule-only option.
