If you plan to stay in the Netherlands for up to 90 days for a holiday, family visit or business visit, a short stay visa is required. This visa offers the opportunity to explore the beautiful sights of the Netherlands, meet dear family members or take advantage of business opportunities.
Applying for a short stay visa is a structured process. A tourist visa is not granted just like that. There are strict conditions and requirements that you must meet. In my blog https://www.mateodiaz.nl/post/visum-kort-verblijf-een-gids-voor-het-aanvragen-van-een-schengenvisum-voor-een-familielid you can find an overview of these conditions.
The complexity of these conditions may lead to a rejection of your visa application.
The common reasons for rejection of a visa application are:
The purpose and circumstances of the intended stay have not been sufficiently demonstrated;
The resources for the intended stay are insufficient;
The information provided regarding the purpose of the stay is unreliable;
The intention to return to the country of origin in time could not be established (risk of settlement).
One of the main reasons for rejection is the so-called risk of settlement. The Visa Service of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) fears that the visa applicant will settle in the Netherlands after the expiration.
To minimize the risk of rejection, it is essential to demonstrate that there is no risk of establishment.
Objection
Has the application been rejected after all? Then you have the opportunity to file an objection within four weeks of receiving the decision. The IND then has 12 weeks to approve or reject the objection. However, please note that processing the objection can currently take longer than 12 weeks.
When filing an objection, the entire application will be reassessed. If information was missing from the original visa application, the visa lawyer will supplement it. It is important to quickly engage a lawyer when receiving a rejection. The objection procedure offers the possibility of still obtaining a short-stay visa after a rejection.
