The Netherlands Embassy in Nigeria today reminded Nigerians that it no longer issues visas to us. Michel Deleen,
the Embassy’s Charge d’ Affaires, told newsmen in Lagos that the
Embassy had since 2013 swapped its visa issuance processes in Nigeria.
Deleen said “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 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. “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.
