Hello all.

I am from Holland, and my partner from Bangkok, and this Friday we have our appointment for her to visit Holland. Now the problem is, we got all of our papers, except the employment certification, which one of the bosses refused to sign. She works at the navy, and her vacation was already approved by her work. Will the visa be declined without this certificate? Is there any way to have a similar certificate to replace it? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user from the Netherlands is concerned about their Thai partner's upcoming Schengen visa appointment, lacking an employment certification from her workplace, the Navy. Despite having all other documents, they worry whether the absence of this certificate will result in a visa denial. Commenters suggest that while the certificate is important, it may not be strictly necessary if adequate evidence of intent to return to Thailand can be provided, indicating alternative ways to demonstrate employment status.

Strange that an official work like the Navy won't sign the cert🤔🤔🤔

Zo’n verklaring is natuurlijk handig, maar niet strikt noodzakelijk zolang er ook voldoende bewijs is (kinderen, zorgplicht familie enz) van andere redenen om na de visumperiode terug naar TH te gaan. Misschien kun je op een andere manier aangeven dat en waar ze werkzaam is. En als je zelf de garantsteller bent voor het verblijf in NL, kan het meevallen. Succes!
