Netherlands: Broader Long-Term Entry Visa Requirement for Turkish Citizens Forthcoming

Starting October 1, 2022, most Turkish citizens will be required to obtain a long-term entry visa (MVV) if seeking to stay in the Netherlands for more than 90 days. Currently, many categories of applicants are MVV-exempt, including Highly Skilled Migrants, EU Intra-Company Transferees, entrepreneurs and those seeking family reunification. Additional information on this change is expected to be forthcoming. Affected applicants should anticipate additional consular visits before being travel authorized.
