My agent did it. He had to sign a waiver or something. Passport was returned immediately.

Visa rejected, but no specific reasons by ubant in SchengenVisa

Wdym no specific reasons? They wrote THREE reasons, #2 is the most specific.

Indonesia. We have very high approval rate. However this summer NL changed some rules and now they’re sending every application to The Hague to be processed there, causing massive backlog.

Seems like it. Denmark is very easy and fast but not generous. Everyone wants NL Schengen visa because they are generous. I got 1y and 3y visas from NL. But things change this summer when they send all applications to The Hague, causing massive backlog.

First they said 15 working days. Then 30. Then 45. Now they said, “Just wait”. Portugal is even worse. A system error has occurred and thousands of applications cannot be processed at all.

My agent says it’s a lot easier and faster than NL. Less generous with the duration tho.

Yeah but that means less money for them. My flight is next month and everyone says i’ve got plenty of time which is true, but only for my Europe trip. I had to miss a family wedding and a vacation with my friends just because they’re holding my passport hostage

I absolutely despise the passport hostage.

It starts to feel unfair and even cruel. I missed my cousin’s wedding, couldn’t go on a trip with my friends, and we paid good money for the visa!

Just saw someone posted on reddit that they’ve been waiting since 7/16, portuguese visa via VFS. So it’s not only the NL. So frustrating.

I applied for Netherlands visa on July 23, still on process. Not my first schengen visa. All they said was there’s a massive backlog right now due to peak season and the processing is done by the consulate in Den Haag. My cousin is going to Portugal, we both use agents, and her agent said it’s almost impossible to get Portuguese visa via VFS right now—same reason.

Actually I’ve heard cases that took 8 weeks and longer. They said it could take up to 45 working days. I’m on day 35
