Emergency visa for the Netherlands
If you want to visit family due to the death or terminal illness of a person residing in the Netherlands, an urgent visa can be applied for. An urgent visa is usually not a Schengen visa and only gives access to the Netherlands.
An urgent visa can only be applied for for a 1st or 2nd degree relative of the person in the Netherlands who is terminally ill or deceased:
- Parents, children, brothers and sisters.
- Grandparents
- Brothers-in-law/sisters-in-law, sons-in-law/daughters-in-law and fathers-in-law/mothers-in-law
- Stepparents and stepchildren, stepbrothers/stepsisters
