⸻ Traveling or living together

You want to apply for a visa or MVV and need help with this

Applying for a visa or a temporary residence permit (MVV) is complicated. Whether it's for family visits, study, family reunification or marriage, the rules vary depending on the situation.

You want to invite someone or come to the Netherlands yourself, but don't know what documents are needed or where to start. Above all, you want clarity, help with the paperwork and someone to tell you what can and cannot be done so that you save time and don't overlook anything.

⸻ Less risk of rejection

You do not want to make mistakes in a visa or MVV application

A small mistake in your application can cause rejection or delay. Incomplete documents, incorrect translations or missed deadlines make the process unnecessarily difficult.

You may not know whether you need a visa or MVV, or you may be unsure about the requirements of the IND or consulate. You are looking for a reliable party who understands this process, explains all the steps for you and makes sure your application is submitted as strong as possible.
