Consulate Phone Number: |
020-575 5309 Calling this number, you get into a menu which will refer to the information number underneath for all visa-related matters. I never got to talk to an actual person, then again I used to call in the afternoon You should call this number between 9-12 am. Choose option 2 for Dutch menu, then option 5 for the immigrant visa department. I got an answermachine at my first try, when i called again 5 min later, I got to talk to a real nice lady. You could also call direct: 020-5755331 or 020-5755333 (the last number is the one to which you are being forwarded when you call the above number). Visa Information Service: 0900-872 8472 (€ 0.70 / minute) I didn't find this one very useful (either) to be honest, for it seems to be predominantly aimed at tourist visas; a near endless barrage of menu choices and info that didn't help me any, but did cost me an absolute fortune Visa Information Service, faxed information on demand: 0900-872-8470 (€ 0.70 / minute) 020-575 5310 FAX |

Cost of Medical Exam? |
€ 145 and € 50 for the chest x-ray. Vaccinations you might need range from € 35 (DTAP/DKTP) to € 150 a piece, on top of the cost for the exam itself. All fees are to be paid on the spot, in cash and Euro only Word of advice: visit your family physician and see if you can get the vaccinations that you need there. They'll be covered by your health insurance, if not completely then at least for the most part. If you haven't had a update to your DKTP/DTAP shot in the last 10 years, get one prior. The one at the medical exam will cost you €35. |
