Our monitoring checks the short-stay appointment calendar of each visa centre once a day. "Days with open dates" counts the days on which at least one date was bookable; "typical wait" is the average number of days between the day a new earliest date appeared and that date. Past availability does not guarantee future availability.
How to book a Netherlands visa appointment from the UAE

- Bring a complete file: see the documents each consulate asks for and how much money to show.

- Where is the Netherlands visa appointment booked in the UAE?
- The Netherlands requires its online application form before the VFS Global appointment in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. You attend the appointment in person to give fingerprints and a photo.
- What if there is only a waitlist?
- When a centre shows only a waitlist it releases dates later. Register as early as possible and keep your documents ready, because released dates are taken quickly. We can register you and book the first date that opens.
- Can I apply to another country with earlier appointments?
- Only if that country is your main destination, where you spend the most nights. Applying elsewhere only for an earlier appointment is a refusal ground.
