Short-stay Schengen Visa Netherlands

#workvisa

About

A Schengen visa is a short-stay visa. It lets you stay in the Schengen area for 90 days within 180 days. Your visa will be good for a set amount of time. This time frame might be less than 90 days. While your visa is still in effect, you can travel freely between the 26 Schengen nations. 

Select the multiple-entry option when submitting your application if you plan to enter and exit the Schengen region more than once during the 180-day window.

Eligibility

You must meet the following three requirements: 

  • You need a visa if you're a relative of a citizen of Switzerland, the EU, or the EEA. 
  • You will be travelling to the country you wish to visit, either alone or with a family member. The family member you are visiting or travelling with is visiting or resides in a different country than the country they are a citizen of. 

Documents

You need the following documents to apply for this visa:

  • Identity documents
  • Provide documents regarding health and character.
  • Evidence that you have the means to pay for your stay.

Process

You might require a visa if you intend to travel to the Netherlands for a brief period (up to 90 days). Your country will determine how to apply for a visa.

When to Apply
The sooner you can apply six months before the trip. Nine months prior to the intended departure date, seafarers may apply.

Visa Processing Time
In most cases, you will learn the results of your application within 15 calendar days. However, there are times when it can take up to 45 days, for instance, if more documents are needed.

How to Apply
All Schengen visa applicants must submit their visa applications to the VFS offices in London, Edinburgh, Birmingham or Manchester. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs processes applications sent via VFS. Visa applications require a minimum of 14 days for processing. After this time, applicants can get in touch with VFS to get status updates.
