They are a nightmare. They demand everything you could possibly think of then when you submit it they ask for a aeroplane ticket. Then decline ... seems almost like a deliberate wind up

I haven’t seen many Netherlands DTV cases yet, but from recent reports most embassies follow the same core checklist. The main differences usually come down to how proof of funds is presented and whether extra supporting documents are requested. If you go ahead with it, please update the group — it would help others.

My school strongly advised against going to The Hague for Soft-power DTV, as they seem to reject them all, so I went to Laos instead

Alles staat uitgelegd op de officiële website, volgens mij hetzelfde als bij andere ambassades + je moet in Nederland wonen en verblijven tijdens de aanvraag.
