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.

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

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.
