Types of visa in the Netherlands
There are four different visas for internationals visiting the Netherlands:
› Schengen or short-stay visa
› Airport transit visa
› Residence permit or long-stay visa
There is also a return visa for expats who wish to travel outside the Netherlands and whose residence permit is not currently valid or has been lost/stolen.
1. Short-stay visa for the Netherlands / Schengen visa
The Schengen visa, also known as a short-stay visa (VKV) or type C visa, allows tourists or visitors to enter the Schengen area. This area is an agreement between 26 countries in the European Union to have no border controls between them. All of these countries issue a common visa called the Schengen visa.
The 26 Schengen countries are: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
If you are required to have a visa, you must apply for a Schengen visa at the Dutch mission (embassy or consulate) in the country in which you reside or are entitled to reside.
If there is no Dutch mission where you reside, you can call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in The Hague on +31 703 485 622 to find the closest mission.
A Schengen visa for the Netherlands will also allow you to travel within the whole Schengen area for 90 days within a 180-day "free period." This period is dated from the day you enter the Netherlands or Schengen area.
You can use the free period in two ways, either as a consecutive 90-day stay, or spread over the whole 180-day period. If you wish to spread your visit out, you will need to apply for a multiple-entry Schengen visa. You can specify when you apply whether you want a single or multiple entries.
If you stay for a consecutive 90 days, you need to stay outside the Netherlands (and the Schengen area) for another 90 days before applying for a visa again.
