IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? VFS Global will assume responsibility for processing Dutch visa applications lodged in the United States.
What does the change mean? Effective April 17, those applying for Schengen or Caribbean visas should submit applications to VFS Global centers in Chicago, Houston, New York or San Francisco. Applications will no longer be accepted at the Dutch embassy or consulates.
BAL Analysis: The change may lead to quicker processing times, though short-term delays are possible as VFS Global takes over visa processing responsibility from Dutch consulates. Those with existing appointments on or after April 17 should contact VFS Global to reschedule their appointment.
