A Netherlands tourist visa is a short-stay visa that allows travelers to visit the Netherlands for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This visa is suitable for tourists who want to explore Dutch culture, modern cities, and scenic canals. To apply, applicants usually need a valid passport, proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter), a return flight ticket, and travel medical insurance. The visa application is submitted through the Dutch embassy or consulate in your home country. Processing times may vary, so applying in advance is highly recommended.
