A Comprehensive Guide to Visa Requirements for the Netherlands Conference Delegates
It is the responsibility of the delegates to investigate and apply for visas if required. If you wish to attend the conference in the Netherlands for less than 90 days, you may need to apply for a short-stay Schengen visa, depending on your nationality. To apply for the visa, delegates should contact the relevant Dutch embassy, consulate, or representing consular Schengen office in their country of residence. It's important to note that visa application regulations may vary from country to country.
Important Details
The need to apply for a visa is determined by the delegate's nationality. In most countries, visa applications should be submitted to an external service provider's office. In some countries, the Netherlands is represented by another Schengen country for visa affairs.
