What should I do if I applied for a DTV visa in the Netherlands and my flight is approaching?
Yesterday i applied for the DTV. I thought it would take 10 workdays for it to be either approved or denied ( the Netherlands)
Now i read different stories that it takes more days. My flight is on the 5th of June.
Im thinking of changing my flight to a later date.
What would you suggest i should do?

OP can always enter on tourist exemption and then do a border run when DTV is approved.Yasmin ***********
OP@Stu***
I rather not. I was there on a ED Visa. I canceled this visa because i went on a trip to japan and shortly after i came to holland to apply for the DTV. So when i came back from japan to bangkok immigration took me separate and told me i can't come on a tourist entry anymore and i should get an DTV. Not sure if this is true but rather not go there now on a regular tourist entry 😕Yasmin ***********
OP@Andi **********
Yes so I will not do that.Andi ***********
Yasmin Mikkelsen Also if asked for an interview it would would be problematic if you are out the country.

Email embassy asap and explain your flight details. They usually respond to this situation quickly

OP@David *******
Hmmm maybe i will do that in a few days. A bit afraid that they receive this as 'psushy' because i only applied for it yesterday.Activity
