Visa centre or agency?
A visa centre only takes in applications for the embassies that hire it; it doesn't advise or decide. An agency can prepare your forms and documents, but you usually still hand them in at the centre yourself, and only the embassy or consulate decides. Our list has 11 visa agencies in the Netherlands.
FAQ
Is VFS Global part of the embassy?
No. VFS Global is a private company that collects applications for the embassies that hire it; the embassy or consulate decides.
Do I need an agency to apply for a visa in the Netherlands?
No. You can book and hand in the application yourself at the centre or mission in the table above. An agency can help you prepare the forms and documents; our list of agencies in the Netherlands shows what each one handles.
