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

Does Spain accept a flight reservation for the visa application?
The BLS South Africa checklist accepts a flight booking or reservation in the same name as your passport. Tripenger recommends a genuine reservation with a booking reference (PNR). Include your trip dates, destinations and travel between Schengen countries.
Which BLS centre should I use in South Africa?
Residents of the Western, Eastern and Northern Cape or KwaZulu-Natal use Cape Town or Durban. Residents of Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West and Free State use Pretoria. Check the current regional instructions before booking.
What should my itinerary show if I visit several Schengen countries?
Show your dates, destinations and transport between countries. Spain must be the appropriate country for your application based on your actual travel plans, including your main destination.
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.
