Do I need a visa for Netherlands from Uzbekistan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Uzbek nationals need a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) to travel to the Netherlands, with a fee that is usually €90 for adults.
Uzbekistan is not among the countries exempt from the Schengen visa. An Uzbek traveller wishing to visit the Netherlands for tourism must therefore apply for a short-stay (Type C) visa before departure. The Netherlands must be the main destination of the trip for it to handle the application.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Holders of an Uzbek passport need a Type C Schengen visa for a tourist stay in the Netherlands of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. This visa allows travel across the whole Schengen area, but it must be requested from the country of main destination — here, the Netherlands.
How and where to apply
Apply at the Netherlands consulate or its authorised external provider (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact) in the Uzbek applicant's country of residence. You book an appointment, attend in person for biometrics and submit the file. Official information and the form are on netherlandsworldwide.nl.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, a compliant ID photo, accommodation and flight bookings, proof of funds and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is usually €90 for an adult (reduced for children); confirm the applicable rate at the time of application on the official site.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; lodge the application at the earliest six months before travel and at the latest 15 days before. Book your biometrics slot early, as appointments can fill up in high season. A consistent itinerary and clear financial evidence make the decision smoother.
Common mistakes
Do not apply through another Schengen country if the Netherlands is your main destination. Do not forget the travel insurance of at least €30,000, which is required for issuance. Finally, do not present unconfirmed bookings or ones inconsistent with your dates: this is a frequent ground for refusal.
