Submit your application through VFS Global in Abuja. The Swiss tourism checklist asks for a preliminary ticket booking and a detailed itinerary; it says a flight reservation is sufficient and advises against buying a ticket before your visa is granted. A genuine reservation with a PNR is a practical option, although the checklist does not expressly require the PNR itself.

What to show for your flights

Provide a preliminary flight booking and a detailed itinerary consistent with your trip. A reservation is sufficient under the tourism checklist; wait until the visa is granted before buying a ticket.

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.
