Netherlands Visa Update : Important Update – June 2025

For Netherlands short-term visas (Tourist/Business), the processing time has increased significantly:

🕒 Previous: 15 working days

🕒 Now: 30 to 45 working days

📌 This change applies across all jurisdictions and is due to high application volumes and backlog at the embassy.

BTW Tip: Apply well in advance — ideally 6 to 8 weeks before your intended travel date.
