I have nothing to add on what Pluis said.

The interview was over before I knew it.

My experience with the consulate in Amsterdam was pleasant. I was treated respectfully and everyone was friendly. They also dealt with me in an efficient manner and were altogether organized.

The consulate suffers from age, though. The building is small, which leads to some issues of logistics. Forming an orderly queue is difficult and (at least on busy days) they only let in the applicants (not their spouses or fiancees, should they have come with), which was not previously communicated.

It is very important not to bring any electronic equipment. Not carrying a cell phone gets you jumped to the front of the line, so that you're first to go through security and enter the consulate proper.

You'll proceed to a small room in which you have the intake conversation. They take your fingerprints and check your passport data (I had just received a new one, so they had to change my passport number in their data), and take your stamps. Contrary to m... read complete review

Had my interview today and i have to say it was a very pleasant experience.

A lot is already said so i only tell a few things i've noticed.

Medical.

bring cash and i mean euro's no plastic. There are a few banks nearby so you can get money from there. i got 300 just to be on the safe site.

Interview

Don't bring electronics. It's in the letter etc. but there where people today that had phone's with them. The guard let them stay outside. If you bring your phone expect to be outside for a while. You can leave your phone at central station. There lockers on the far right side of the building. (if you stand in front of the building and walk in)

I bought a registered mail stamp (7.70 euro) in dutch (aangetekende brief 0-2 kilo)You only can get the barcode one.

All in all in was a pleasant experience. I was in and out in less then 15 minutes.

I don't have much to add to all the reviews already posted here, but wanted to write a review since Visajourney has been so incredibly informative throughout out process.

I had an appointment at 13.30, and arrived at the consulate at about 13.15. I left my electronics in a locker at Central Station and it paid off, since people without electronics end up being let in first. At 13.30 on the dot the security guards showed up and asked everyone to line up. Then they let you in and you go through a little airport-like security check.

Once you enter you go up to the window ahead of you, and they will tell you to move on to window 5 in the other room. Here I was asked to hand over my passport/the birth certificate/I-134/proof of payment and the Postage Stamps. They also took my fingerprints and then I was asked to wait until a consular officer at another window would call your name. About five minutes later someone did!

The questions were very s... read complete review
