I seldom write reviews but there are times when one should. Since July 2015, I have been meaning to write a positive review for this particular embassy, but it took me 6 months!

There was a situation when I could not get online appointment in a timely manner to attend a meeting. I called their hotline at night 2am and someone picked up the phone and assured that its doable. Then I wrote an email to which they replied the next morning, around 9:30am. They even cooperated to accomodate another colleague of mine in a similar situation.

I have heard horror stories about other embassies and rude awakenings caused by some ill-mannered staff, but The Netherland embassy people are professional and friendly. They go by the book for requirements, no exceptions, but make you feel welcome and not intimidating. The consular office was a young man (name hidden for privacy), friendly and respectful and well behaved. He was patient and helped us out in a timely manner.

I like this embassy, have respect for their respectful behavior, and appreciate their friendliness. No wonder, people say The Netherlands is a friendly country! If you are looking for a European vacation in Schengen lands, its worth going to The Nederlands as well, and your money spent will be worth it. If you have all documents proper, the VISA experience will be good too.
