Information for Ukrainian nationals in the Netherlands

The IND has revised its policies around visa's for Ukrainian nationals in the Netherlands. Full information is available here.

It is now possible for Ukrainian nationals looking to obtain a 90-day visa for the Netherlands (MVV) to pick up the visa at a Dutch embassy or consulate in another country. Please contact your IND case officer for more information.

Please note that Ukrainian nationals with a biometric passport have an automatic visa upon arrival in the Netherlands. Only those with non-biometric passports need to apply for an MVV.

Anyone arriving in the Netherlands, who requires asylum to protect their human rights, can apply via the IND. In order to apply for asylum, people must present themselves at a reception centre: if arriving by air this is at Schiphol Airport.
