Proof of return to country of origin or residence
This is perhaps the most important part of a Schengen visa application. If you cannot sufficiently demonstrate that there is no risk of settlement (i.e., make it plausible that you will return to your country of origin or residence), a visa application will very likely be rejected.
Therefore, do not underestimate this step and provide sufficient evidence. Evidence that shows that you have sufficient reasons to return to your country of origin or residence, are for example:
- documentary evidence showing that the visa applicant has a job in the country of origin, such as an employer's statement or employment contract;
- proof of enrollment at an educational institution in the country of origin;
- proof of registration of school-going children in the country of origin;
- proof of ownership of your own home and/or other immovable property in the country of origin;
- documentary evidence showing that he cares for other persons in the country of origin.

Please note!: The burden of proof to demonstrate that the visa applicant has reasons to return to the country of origin lies with that person. The IND and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can only give advice on this point. It is the embassy that actually determines whether the supporting documents are sufficient. If they consider that the supporting documents are not convincing enough, the application can be rejected on the basis of a risk of establishment. In other words, there is a fear that the applicant will stay (illegally) in the Netherlands at some point.
