Netherlands Tourist Visa in Thailand

Since the Netherlands is a Schengen state, the requirements for a Netherlands visit visa as well as the processes involved are the same as those mandated by other Schengen states.

Eligibility

Citizens of non- European Union and non-European Economic Area countries, along with other foreign nationals who are not in the visa exemption category need to apply for a visa to enter the Netherlands.

The visa sticker shows the number of days a foreigner is allowed to stay in the country as well as the number of entries allowed to explore and visit the other Schengen states. For a maximum, foreigners are allowed to remain in the country for ninety (90) days every six (6) months.
