Visa Application Form - Kingdom Of The Netherlands In The Caribbean (Page 8 of 9) in pdf

GUIDELINES FOR COMPLETING THE FORM

This section provides explanatory notes and/or guidelines on specific questions.

NB: Read the explanatory notes and the guidelines through carefully before completing the

application form.

If after reading the explanatory notes you still have questions or are unsure about your answers, contact

the embassy or consulate in your region or raise the issue when submitting the form. Forms which are

completed incorrectly or which are not completed in full will not be processed. Nor will your application be

processed if you do not submit all the documents required.

Question 7

ID number

Fill in your personal ID number issued by your national authority. This number can be found on your

passport, driving licence, sédula, birth certificate or other official document issued by your government.

The ID number is different from your travel document number, which you are asked to provide in

question 15.

Questions 8 and 9

Nationality

Question 8 asks you to fill in your current nationality, as stated in the travel document you wish to use

for your journey/journeys to the Caribbean. If you previously had another nationality, or if you currently

have multiple nationalities, fill these in under question 9.

Questions 12 and 13 Names of father and mother

If you are a minor according to the laws of your country, fill in the names of your father and mother or of

the person/persons who has/have parental responsibility for you.

Questions 22 and 30 Main destination and additional destinations

Fill in your main destination under question 22. Your main destination is the place where your main

purpose of travel lies, or the place you will be staying for the longest.

NB: If you have more than one purpose of travel (in one or more countries), you will need to determine

which purpose of travel has the most extra requirements (e.g. a guarantor’s declaration, proof of

ownership, proof of registration with a university).

Generally speaking, this will be your main purpose of travel and the country your main destination.

Specific or extra conditions apply to all purposes of travel, except ‘Tourism’ and, in some cases,

‘Business’.

The embassy, will where necessary, determine your main purpose of travel and main destination for you.

This is in your own interest and will prevent you finding yourself at a border control without the required

documents and being refused entry. Under question 30 you can fill in additional destinations (countries)

and purposes of travel.

For example: you want to travel to Curaçao to visit family and to Aruba for tourism. You will spend two

days with your family and two weeks on holiday. Going by the general rule, tourism would be your main

purpose of travel and Aruba your main destination. However, because extra conditions apply to family

visits, your main purpose of travel is ‘Family visit’ and Curaçao your main destination. You can fill in the

visit to Aruba (purpose of travel ‘Tourism’) under question 30.

Questions 23 and 25 Period of validity

Here you need to fill in the period in which you wish to use the visa. The standard visa is valid for six

months. This does NOT mean that you can stay in the Caribbean for six consecutive months. Fill in your

intended period of stay (for each time you enter a country) under question 24.

This form is provided free of charge.
