ORIGINAL POSTERYesterday 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?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster applied for a DTV visa in the Netherlands and is concerned about its approval time relative to their upcoming flight on June 5. Various community members shared their experiences, noting approval times ranging from 2 to 3 working days, with some suggesting that it could be approved before the flight date. Members advised waiting a bit longer before changing the flight and suggested contacting the embassy directly regarding the situation.

OP can always enter on tourist exemption and then do a border run when DTV is approved.Yasmin ***********
ORIGINAL POSTER@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 😕Andi ***********
Yasmin Mikkelsen Also if asked for an interview it would would be problematic if you are out the country.
