Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries regarding Netherlands Tourist Visa application requirements.

Do I need translations to Dutch?

No, not necessarily. The IND and Dutch consulates fully accept documents in Dutch, English, French, or German. If your original certificates are in any other language, they must be translated by a certified/certified translator.

Do Dutch consulates require Apostille on all certificates?

Yes. All certificates must be legalized with a Hague Apostille in your country of origin before they can be translated and submitted for your visa.
