The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Nigeria, on Tuesday reminded Nigerians that it was no longer in the business of issuing them visas.

The Embassy’s Charge d’ Affaires, Mr Michel Deleen, told the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) in Lagos that the Embassy had since 2013 swapped itsvisa issuance processes in Nigeria.

Deleen said that the Embassy had since 2013 swapped its visas issuance to Nigerians with the French Consulate General in Lagos and the Embassy of Belgium in Abuja.

“Let me remind Nigerians that since 2013, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Nigeria had signed agreements with the French Consulate-General in Lagos and the Embassy of Belgium in Abuja.







“What this means is that we have swapped our visa application processes in Nigeria with the French Consulate-General in Lagos and the Embassy of Belgium in Abuja.

“Let me remind Nigerians that under these agreements, any Nigerian that wants to visit the Netherlands for business, study or tourism should always process their visa applications through the French Consulate-General in Lagos and the Embassy of Belgium in Abuja,’’ he said.



Deleen also enjoined Nigerians to always apply for visas to the Netherlands, through VFS Global to the French Consulate-General in Lagos and the Embassy of Belgium in Abuja.

The Charge d’ Affaires said that it was important for Nigerians and other nationals in Nigeria to know that VFS Global was the internationally-authorised organisaton for receiving all visa applications.





“Let me also advise anyone seeking visas to the Netherlands through the French Consulate-General in Lagos and the Embassy of Belgium in Abuja,to always first apply through VFS Global.

“When you first apply to VFS Global for visas to the Netherlands,VFS Global would thereafter send them to the French Consulate-General in Lagos and the Embassy of Belgium in Abuja for processing,’’ he said.

VFS Global is the world’s largest outsourcing and technology services specialist for governments and diplomatic missions worldwide.

The company manages administrative and non-judgmental tasks related to visas, passports, identity management and other citizen services for its client governments.

I hope some day, our place would be sought for. The corruption has eaten us all up.

I should start making my plans to join the myriads leaving Nigeria

Even the president has disgraced Nigeria....

Stop this clickbait nonsense, its really irritating. Is Nairaland a blog? Or a FORUM? Is the main aim of Nairaland just traffic, or do they care about interactive discussion?? They just reminded Nigerians the new process they've set to enter their country through France (which means, its not something that just happened) instead of issuing visa directly and you guys are here with your sensational headline. Its annoying, really. I saw this sh*t on Naij.com yesterday thanks to UC browser but I wasn't surprised because that's the trash I'm used to from them. But Nairaland, c'mon, you can do better than this.

But why??/

Who told you i want to visit Netherland

buh you can issue only politicians the visa because they would go and waste our hard earned resources over there....... anyway it's our leaders who threw us into this disgrace

OK, perhaps its because the Netherlands Embassy have been taken over by rats, so they use French and Belgian Embassy. Its not a big deal, even our President doesn't use his office also.
