Applying for a long-stay visa (MVV) for residents of Namibia

If you want to stay in the Netherlands for longer than 90 days, you may need a residence permit. In many cases you will also have to apply for a long-stay visa before you travel to the Netherlands. This visa is also called an authorisation for temporary stay (MVV).

It is not possible to apply for this visa in Namibia. You can submit your application in South Africa at the Netherlands embassy in Pretoria or the consulate-general in Cape Town.
