How can my sponsor invite me to the Netherlands for a short stay?
If you want to visit the Netherlands for a maximum of 90 days, you will have to show you have enough spending money. If you cannot meet this requirement, you can ask someone in the Netherlands to sponsor you.
Do I need sponsorship?
If you want to stay in the Netherlands for a maximum of 90 days and have less than €55 (per person per day) to spend, you will need sponsorship.
You will not need sponsorship if you have more than €55 to spend during your visit to the Netherlands. You will need to prove this, however, for example by producing your bank statements.
How can I arrange sponsorship?
