Hi fellow Filipinas,

Im newbie here and found this forum very informative.
Here's the thing, I am scheduled for MVV application this May 7, 2012.
Can you please advise me about the requirements? I have looked into official websites: IND, Minbuza and the embassy's website but to no avail. They don't give detailed list of requirements. Can you please help me? Salamat sa inyong lahat!

[peace]

Hi,

First, take the civic integration exam at the Dutch embassy in Manila. After passing the exam, you discuss with your husband/partner/petitioner who is going to file the MVV application. Before, you can file an MVV application direct at the Dutch embassy in Manila or your petitioner can file first for an advice here in the Netherlands (called the advice route). However, when I checked the IND website it seems that the form available there is only for the advice route.

http://english.ind.n...ormulieren.aspx

Anyway, if you and your husband decide to go the advice route then click the link Request for advice preceding the actual Provisional Residence Permit. There both of you can find all the requirements needed.
Different strokes for different folks. But I would suggest that your husband call the IND and inquire.

For your petitioner (UNOFFICIAL):
1. Uitreksel van de gemeente (it is like their version of our birth certificate, cenomar and marriage certificate)
2. Scan ALL pages of passport
3. Evidence of relationship such as e-mails, cards, etc.
4. Evidence of financial capacity
5. Other documents asked by the IND

As for you, initially:
1. Apply for NSO birth certificate, CENOMAR (if not married)/NSO marriage certificate (if married). I don't know if you need to have these documents authenticated by the DFA and later legalized at the Dutch embassy at the time of application.
2. Scan ALL pages of your passport.
3. Exam results from the Civic Integration Exam.

take note that a legalized CENOMAR is only valid for 6 months!

This is time consuming so make a good plan. Always keep copies of your documents.

For the rest please read the past postings.

We wish you all the best!

Hi Peace!

Thanks for your reply.
My partner and I already got a POSITIVE advise from the IND.
I have already passed the inburgeringsexam last year. And I have already legalised my cenomar and bc.

What I want to know are the list of requirements during for the application of MVV at the embassy. My schedule is on May 7, 2012. And the following documents are the only thing that I am sure be required by the embassy:
> Duly completed application form
> Valid passport
> Copy of my partner's passport
> 2 recent foto's
> Exam result (passed)
> Legalised BC and CENOMAR

Aside from the above mentioned requirements, what are the other documents needed?
I would like to know if TRAVEL INSURANCE is required aswell. Since my partner can only register me under his insurance company (Dutch National Health Insurance) once I got the MVV, arrived in NL, register at the townhall and then getting BSN.

Is TRAVEL INSURANCE a requirement too upon application?

Thank you so much again peace for your response!
Have a nice day!!!

Great!

I think you have covered everything.

> Duly completed application form you can get this from the guard. they do not like the downloaded ones (as far as I can remember).
> Valid passport and all your previous passports (if you have)
> Copy of my partner's passport
> 2 recent foto's
> Exam result (passed) original
> Legalised BC and CENOMAR

With regard to travel insurance, the embassy did not ask me to present a travel insurance. But before I traveled to Holland I had a travel insurance from OMG, then after I registered at the gemeente I switched to regular Dutch insurance. After that, I applied for reimbursement from OMG for the unused days.

The travel insurance insures you from the time you arrive in Holland up to the time you register at the gemeente. Is this compulsory? I think the IND can best answer this.

The required Travel insurance you also can get at Blue Cross in makati and can be cheaper then in Holland. As long as there is a coverage for healthinsurance of €30000 which is mandetory for the visa.
The Dutch embassy accepted this Blue cross insurance before already.

New immigration rules for the Netherland starts on july 2012.

The new rules imply that The dutch citizen is obliged to get married(abroad) in order to be able to get his/her partner to his home country.

Thu there are exeptions for those who are not able to marry in the (foreign) country of the partner. ( for example gays ).

Further more it means that the right to life together as registered partners are not meant any longer for Dutch citizen who has a foreign partner.

With this the Dutch government is discriminating Dutch citizen with a foreign partner.

Applicants for a visa and their partners are adviced to appeal to art. 1 a.f. of the civil law code and to art. 8 E.v.r.m of the european law.


Sofar known as of now this is already an accepted law by the parlement, but now the current administration is demissionair, there is a little hope that the law might not come into force(yet).

Anyway its better to count with this new rule.

Hi amice!

I've travelled several times in Holland with a tourist visa.
With regards to insurance, I trust Malayan.
And with the MVV, we will arrange one via NL insurance company.
Thanks for your response though.
Have a nice day!

Hi Andreas,

1. First you need to pass the Basisexamen at the Dutch Embassy.
2. Then you have to prepare your CENOMAR or Marriage Certificate and Birth Certificate for authentication at the DFA & Legalisation at the embassy
3. Your sponsor can start the procedure for your MVV application in the Netherlands. This is called Request for Advise. If you choose to start your MVV application in the Netherlands you are advised to wait for the decision. The embassy needs to receive the decision before your file can be processed. Your sponsor will be informed by the IND about the result on your application. Once there is a decision you can arrange an appointment to present yourself at the embassy.

--- or ----

If you are confident that you will get the MVV without going through the Advise process, you may also directly apply at the embassy.

You may only contact them by calling the visa appointment system (call center). They do not entertain direct calls at the embassy; only if you have to follow up your application.

Furthermore, the IND is the best source of all informations. http://english.ind.nl/residencewizard/
You may also try to look at the Netherlands Embassy's website: http://philippines.nlembassy.org/
and/or The Ministry of Foreign Affairs: http://www.minbuza.nl/en/services

Goodluck!

Insurance is not required as per embassy's advise. However, my partner and I decided to have me insured (for 6months) while I am not yet covered with a Dutch health insurance. My policy is under OOM insurance and it can be refunded soon as I get my own Dutch health insurance.

be informed that with the entrance of the amendment,the posibility for the advice procedure no longer exist. So as july 1 2012 you can't follow the advice procedure anymore.

Yes, amice.
But mickeeh schedule is on June 7 and she already got a positive advise.

Furthermore, with the amendments of the rules, yes you are right. That's why it is always wise to check the IND's website.

Please post in English unless it is in the language section. Also if you wish to get the most answers, then it would probably need to be in any form of English that most of us can understand.
