Re-POST: Visa Application for Partner/Spouse in NL

well..this is actually just a re-post from my past post, with the same topic, but this time, I have the actual necessary documents for the Application of visa for Spouse/Partner in NL..hopefully, this post could be helpful for someone who is trying to apply for visa in NL..

my situation:

my boyfriend is working in NL. He started working in his company since he graduated from the university. Thus, for this, the Dutch gov called 'Kennismigrant' (eng: Skilled Migrant). We are not married, but we are getting married this coming May. For those of you who are not married, it is possible to apply for the visa (MVV) to his/her dependent. I want to apply for the partner visa, and then, after we have the 'Marriage Certificate', we'll switch the status from partner to spouse..


it might sounds very complicated, but it's not as complicated as it sounds..here are the documents you need to prepare to get the MVV with your dependent:

1. Valid Passport (you and your partner)

2.a. Marriage Certificate --> Translated and Legalized (if you are married)
b. Unmarried Certificate --> Translated and Legalized (if you are un-married). This certificate is required for both, you and your partner. This document needs to be obtain from the highest institution, which in my case is: KUA

3. Birth Certificate --> Translated and Legalized

4. Proof of Income of your dependent in NL

5. 3 pcs of Pass Photo --> your face has to be very clear in the picture. Your eyes could / should not be covered

Those are basically the documents you need to provide. The process itself, will take place:

- if you apply from NL: 4-6 weeks

- if you apply from outside NL: 4-6 months

see? it's not that complicated when you have the right answer for the documents needed.

okay. after you got the answer from the Dutch Immigration, you could choose where do you want to take the visa.

after you have your MVV, and you've arrived in NL, go directly to the Gemeente to report yourself. You could also change your status in here, with supporting documents of course, like your Marriage Certificate that has been translated to English/Dutch/French/Deutsch.

Good Luck for those of you who wants to apply for the visa.
