Published at 27-05-2025 by Winnei Bisschop

As a visa agency with years of experience helping couples reunite, I’m here to walk you through the process, step by step, in simple English. Whether you're visiting your partner for a short stay or planning to live there long-term, this guide will help you understand your options and avoid common mistakes.
- Short-Term Visit Visa – For When You Just Want to See Each Other
If you just want to visit your Dutch partner and stay for up to 90 days, the Schengen Visit Visa (Type C) is for you. This visa allows you to spend time together, get to know each other better, and strengthen your relationship — all legally.
What you’ll need:
Invitation letter from your partner
Proof of relationship (photos together, chat history, travel history)
Financial proof (yours and/or your partner’s)
Travel plan + insurance
- Long-Stay Partner Visa (MVV) – For Couples Ready to Live Together
If you’ve been together for a while and are ready to build a life together in the Netherlands, you’ll need a long-term visa (MVV). This process involves more documents and approvals, especially from the Dutch immigration office (IND), but it’s worth it for those who are serious.
Things to prepare:
Strong proof of relationship
Your partner’s stable income & housing in the Netherlands
Personal documents (passports, birth certificates, etc.)
Passing the Civic Integration Exam (if required)
- Real Talk: What Makes a Visa More Likely to Be Approved?
