What is a Schengen Visa?
A Schengen visa is a joint visa for all Schengen states (the Netherlands is part of the Schengen area) and gives access to the 26 Schengen member states in Europe. You can travel through a large part of Europe with a Schengen visa without having to apply for a separate visa for each country.
What is the validity period of a visa for travelers from Morocco?
The stay in the Schengen area is limited to a maximum of 90 days within a period of 180 days for visa-requiring and non-visa-requiring persons from outside the EU. This means that a Moroccan who has been in the Schengen area for 90 days may only return to the Netherlands after he has been outside the Schengen area for 90 days.
A Schengen visa is in principle valid for 6 months from the date of issue. The stay in the Schengen area must take place within these 6 months. The return journey may therefore not take place after the expiry date.
Visa application for the Netherlands
You can submit an application at the earliest 6 months before your trip from Morocco to the Netherlands. And at least 15 working days in advance. You will usually know within 15 calendar days whether you will receive the visa. Sometimes more time is needed: the application can take up to 30 days. And in exceptional cases 60 days. For example, if additional documents are required.

Stake out Schengen insurance with a Dutch insurer
Taking out medical Schengen insurance with a Dutch insurer has several advantages, especially for those who guarantee a foreign guest or partner. Some important benefits are:
- Dutch law: By choosing a Dutch insurer, the insurance falls under the Dutch legal system. This means that you as a consumer are protected by Dutch law, which offers you rights and guarantees.
- Strict supervision: Dutch insurers are under strict supervision by Dutch supervisors, such as the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB). This supervision ensures that these insurers are reliable and meet high quality and integrity requirements.
- Reliability: In general, Dutch insurers are considered more reliable than some foreign insurers. This is due to the strict supervision and good reputation of the Dutch insurance market.
- Ease of communication: If you take out insurance with a Dutch insurer, you can communicate in your own language. This is particularly useful for questions, problems or claims. It prevents language barriers and makes the process easier and more understandable.

All these factors make taking out Schengen travel insurance with a Dutch insurer an attractive choice, especially in case of high costs or complex situations. It provides security, convenience and accessibility, contributing to a smoother experience for both the guarantor and the visa applicant.
