1. The Dutch Embassy in China and the Consulate General in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong only accept visa applications within their respective jurisdictions. Holders of official passports are not allowed to apply for visas at embassies and consulates in China, the Netherlands and other countries, but must be submitted by the visa delivery personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the local foreign affairs office and obtain a passport visa. When applying for a visa, you need to submit different application materials according to the purpose of going to the Netherlands. Specific requirements and related information can be found on the website of the Dutch Embassy in China.

2. Generally speaking, the processing period for China citizens to apply for a short stay visa for traveling, visiting relatives or visiting the Netherlands is three weeks to three months, while the processing time for a short stay visa (MVV) is longer, usually three to six months, during which various materials may be required, so it is necessary to make preparations in advance and apply as soon as possible.

If you apply for a visa for the purpose of studying abroad, you can ask the Dutch university to apply for a short-term residence visa from the Dutch visa authority, that is, the "fast MVV visa return procedure", which generally takes only 6 to 8 weeks. MVV visas can only be processed in embassies and consulates in China and the Netherlands, and only after obtaining the "International Travel Health Certificate" can they be processed. The validity period is 1 year.

Obtaining a visa does not mean that the holder has the right to enter Schengen countries, and the holder may still be refused entry. Therefore, when China citizens enter the Netherlands, they should not only hold valid passports, visas and round-trip air tickets, but also carry an invitation letter in English or Dutch with them, as well as the address and contact information of the guarantor, indicating the original main destination, reasons (which should be consistent with the purpose when applying for a visa) and the duration of stay. /zd/xx
