If you live in or near Edinburgh and need to apply for a Netherlands (Schengen) short-stay visa, you must attend the VFS Global Netherlands visa application centre to submit your application and give biometrics (fingerprints and a photo). Appointment slots can be scarce, especially before school holidays, summer and Christmas.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge the visa fee?

Can I book for my family?
