Visa Information for the Netherlands:
For visits to the Netherlands lasting up to 90 days, a short-stay Schengen visa may be necessary, depending on your nationality. These visas must be obtained from the relevant Dutch embassy, consulate, or consular Schengen office in the delegate's country of residence.
The necessity of a visa is contingent upon the nationality of the participants and delegates.
In many countries, visa applications are processed through external service provider offices. Some countries have other Schengen countries representing the Netherlands for visa matters. It's essential to review the specific documentation requirements for business visa applications as these vary by country.
