How to apply for a Caribbean visa in Jordan
The Netherlands embassy in Amman uses the services of the visa application center (VAC) of VFS Global for Caribbean visa.
You can make an appointment via the website of VFS Global.
The VAC only takes in the visa applications. They don't have any involvement with the decision on visa applications. On behalf of the Netherlands embassy the Consular Service Organisation (CSO) in The Hague is authorised to take decisions on the visa applications.
Point of attention
Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that some agencies or agents that assist applicants in the application procedure charge applicants additionally for booking an appointment at the embassy.
The Netherlands embassy would like to draw the attention of all applicants that the embassy does not charge any fees for making an appointment through its appointment system. The embassy strongly recommends that applicants make their own appointment.
Please inform the embassy in case you are charged for an appointment.
