Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I have to come in person or can I send the application to the Netherlands Visa Application Centre?
-All applicants travelling must book an appointment and be present at the date and time of the visa application, including children/infants
- What if I do not have all the documents?
-If your application is not accompanied by the documents that are required by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you will be asked if you wish to proceed with the application as it is, i.e. without all the required documents. Should you consent to this, your application will be registered in our system and accepted for visa application submission, but incomplete applications always lead to processing delays.
