What is visa facilitation?

Visa facilitation is a special procedure for applying for a Schengen visa, which allows you to stay in the Netherlands for a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period.

You do not have to pay a visa fee if you are eligible for visa facilitation, although you may have to pay a service fee in some situations.
