Kingdom Of The Netherlands In The Caribbean Visa Application Form Page 7

Admission to the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands

If you wish to be admitted to the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom you will need a valid Caribbean visa.

Having a visa is only one of the entry requirements and it does not guarantee entry. Each border control

will again check, before you enter, whether you meet the entry requirements. This check is based on the

requirements for the specific purpose of travel for which you wish to enter the country.

If, at that moment, you do not satisfy visa the policy and legislation of the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom

of the Netherlands you can be refused entry. The fact that a visa has been granted does not mean you are

entitled to compensation for any potential damage if entry is denied.

Visa fees / the cost of a visa application

When applying for a visa you will need to pay a fee up front for your visa application to be processed. After

all, processing your application, whether you are issued with a visa/visa sticker or not, requires buildings,

staff, computer and telecommunications systems and security. Fees are based on the actual costs incurred.

The principle of cost recovery is laid down by law in the Consular Fees Act (Wet op de Consulaire tarieven).

Paying a fee does not, therefore, necessarily mean that you will be granted a visa. It is, however, a

condition of initiating the visa application procedure. You are paying for the work that will be carried out,

not for a ‘positive’ result.

Refusal of a visa application

If your application is refused, you will receive a written notification stating the grounds for the refusal. You

will also be informed whether there are any legal remedies against the refusal, such as an objection or

application for judicial review. If this is an option, the notification will also state the competent authority to

which you should address yourself and the time limit for doing so.

Visa requirements and conditions / documents required for the application

The embassy or consulate in your region will be able to tell you about the requirements and conditions that

apply to your intended destination/destinations and purpose/purposes of travel, and about the documents

you will need for the visa in question. This information is also available on the embassy or consulate’s

website. Contact details/website addresses are available at

This form is provided free of charge.
