Hi and welcome to the Forum.

The IND can take up to 90 days to process any MVV.

Hope this helps.

I know the decision period is 90 days, but does it really take that long?

There is no firm answer to that, can all depend on how busy they are in the office, this time of year 眉eople take holidays, so can make it worse as less staff in the office.

The MVV process is not a tick box computer screen operation, it involves several Dutch government departments.聽 We have had instances reported where it took longer than 90 days, but in every respect, the IND came back to that person at the 90-day point and warned them.

I don't know exactly. My university applied for me and they said that they received news that the MVV is ready. But I didn't get anything by post, ever for my Visa, I got nothing by post.
