How to apply for a Dutch visa for retirees

As more and more middle-aged and elderly people begin to go abroad, the trend of middle-aged and elderly people's tourism is gradually expanding. When they reach the retirement age, they all want to relax and start to travel abroad. How should retirees apply for a Dutch visa?

Retirees usually apply for Dutch tourist visas. When retirees apply for Dutch tourist visas, the information provided by retirees is much simpler than that of employees.

The applicant may provide the following materials:

Original passport, photo (3.5*4.5cm two white background photos in the past 6 months), copy of retirement certificate (if you haven't got the retirement certificate, you can provide the retirement certificate), bank statement of pension, account book, marriage certificate, ID card and other materials.

In addition to tourist visas, retirees can also apply for visas to visit relatives and friends. The required materials are basically the same as the travel materials. In addition to the necessary materials, they also need to provide the inviter's information.

Applicants need to be reminded that although retirees have plenty of time, it is best not to apply for a stay of more than one month when arranging travel time and travel plans, because in this case, the visa officer may doubt the applicant's travel. Purpose, it is recommended that applicants can apply for a stay of about 15 to 20 days.

Generally speaking, the embassy will give the applicant a visa valid for 3 months, but the final validity period and the number of days of stay will be judged by the embassy according to the applicant's travel time and personal conditions. If the applicant's conditions are good, the embassy may also give multiple visas for many years.

Generally speaking, it is relatively easy for retirees to apply for a Dutch visa. Although retirees need less materials, applicants still have to prepare materials carefully. If applicants have missing materials or untrue materials, they may still be rejected.
