How to apply for a visa for the Netherlands?
Ecuadorian citizens wishing to visit the Netherlands for tourism purposes must apply for a visa at the Consulate of Spain in Quito or Guayaquil. For further information about the requirements and the procedure, visit the following website:
A residence permit for long-term stays in the Netherlands must be requested through the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) in the Netherlands. Further information, depending on the reason for the permit (family, studies, work), can be found on the following IND webpage: Residency in the Netherlands | IND
Only once the IND has approved the residence permit can an appointment be requested at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Lima for an MVV (Authorization for Temporary Stay) visa.
