How long does the MVV Procedure take?
Good luck!!
They apply from the embassy so totally different.

Thanks

You have a decision date in letter +2weeks delay for the payslips from work.
Maybe they decide before that date聽
Gold luck!
I am applying for my internship in Amsterdam. and I want to be sure about everything before I apply for the MVV.
Will it be a faster process if i apply from My country, India or if my employer in amsterdam does it, that would be a fast process.?
It would be a great help.
Thank you so much for your time.
It will be faster if your company in Holland make the request for the visa for you.
Kind regards,
Ahmed
I am Ukrainian ,married with Dutch . Applied for MVV via lawyer .

I will recommend to be patient and see what will happen
Kind regards,

Any updates on how much time is it taking for the MVV nowadays. I Checked with IND but they didn't give any concrete reply just said it will be done within 3 months. Its already been 6 weeks now.
I am also waiting for the approval of my request.
I'm currently living in Japan as my family is based here.
My boyfriend (dutch) and I applied for the MVV last July.
The IND said to us even before i took the basisexamen that all i need is my birth certificate and CENOMAR from the Philippines as we (my family except for my dad who is japanese) are originally from there, and that red ribbon is not needed.
So there we are we passed everything, papers from PH and JP.
We continuously asked them if we need to legalise my papers from the PH but both the IND and embassy here in Japan said it's no need. We asked coz as i read in forums and from IND site it is needed.
The IND sent the receipt of our documents on 18th July, and they said that if they need anything else they would contact, but until now, they haven's asked for additional documents and every time we ask them about the status they always said that our documents are perfect as it is.
My concern is, if they say that our papers are ok and has no problems in it, then why not send us the letter of approval already. It's just so frustrating waiting for it.

Yeah, it's just so frustrating to wait.
How long did you have to wait for yours if you dont mind me asking?

submitted last july 18 and until now no result yet.
I would like to know experiences about how long the mvv procedure takes these days?
Thanks
My husband paid the same day, but they received it it seems 3 days later. So keep that in mind everyone, either pay directly at the IND when u present ur papers or do it asp because they will add those days in between to the 90 days total....not cool!
As you might think it's not cool the term starts after they received the fees, I totally understand that they count from that date.

Hello Primadonna,
Sorry maybe you got me wrong: they don't start counting when you pay, they start counting when you apply (when they receive the application precisely).
But when they send you the invoice for payment, they freeze the rest of 90 days till they receive the payment and add those days or weeks to the rest of days which are left. I hope this is clearer
Exemple if you applied on the 1st of Jan
They received on the 3rd of Jan then the 90 days has started already and should be done by X date
They send you the invoice on the 15th of Jan
You pay on the 16th, they receive payment of the 19th. These 4 days from the 15th of Jan to the 19th聽 which are 4 days, they add it to the X+4 and that's the total of days they would聽 max need to finish the paperwork.
I do have a question: the steps after getting the MVV are a bit vague for me.
So after u get the MVV, u travel to The Netherlands, then you have 5 working days after arriving to the Netherlands to register at the Municipality of our residence. I am confused about the IND giving u the residency after two weeks. Should we make an appointment? Do they contact us to pick it up? When does the 2 weeks start? Since you register at the Municipality or starting the day you give ur biometrics to the Embassy?
If anyone can help with that would appreciate馃槉
Has anyone received any answer from IND lately ? How long did it take ?
Good luck to everyone!!
My fianc茅e will be linked to my visa, but his has not come in yet (it's been 5 weeks now) and we applied at the same time and with the same paperwork. He is from a country that requires an MVV.
We both live together but in a different country from where we were born (in order to be together).
Does anyone have any insight on why his is taking so much longer?
Our flights are booked to arrive in the Netherlands in 3 weeks and we are getting very nervous.
