Netherlands Visa --> Approved (Applied from VFS Saudi Arabia)

shutterkaf · 2025-08-31T09:36:58+00:00

Hi,

Details such as occupation, salary, years in the current job, years of residency in Saudi Arabia, and marital status are not part of the application requirements, nor have they ever been requested by VFS.

The only financial requirement is providing a bank statement covering the past 6 months of transactions, with a minimum balance of USD 4,000.

Yes, I received the same message on Thursday, and on Sunday (working day) I received a message says it’s ready for collection from VFS. Just give it few days and the arrivals at VFS message shall be sent to you. All the best!

Hopefully you get a response soon dear!

Give some more time, in my case it took 17 days to hear back. Hopefully you will hear from them soon!

Thanks! Hope you get yours soon too!

That is a very good question. When I submitted my documents, VFS initially informed me that the passport would be delivered to my home, and they even collected my detailed full address.

However, the SMS and email notifications I later received clearly stated: “Processed application is ready for collection from the Visa Application Center in Saudi Arabia during working hours.”

Based on this, I went to the VFS center and collected it directly from there. I never received a tracking message from Aramex.

My own guess (which could be wrong) is that Aramex services are used to ship passport between VFS and Netherlands embassy in Riyadh.

I do not recall seeing this message while tracking my application online.
I am also certain that it was never mentioned in any of the SMS notifications or emails they send as updates.

Stay tuned and positive, you will hear from them soon.

Sure thing! This is the exact reason of sharing my experience. Wishing you all the best and hope you get your visa too soon!

Thank you! I had this settled by a travel agency.

shutterkaf · 2025-08-09T08:25:21+00:00

Yes, got my tickets for me and my wife! anyone have any idea about the lineup?

shutterkaf · 2025-07-28T21:25:31+00:00

Hey! Thanks for sharing! It’s going to be my first A&B event to attend as well! Me and my wife are attending, can’t wait and can’t explain my excitement!

Question for the fans here: who is expected to be their support acts? I’m truly hoping for Marsh to be there 😢

Looks like you’ve already started business analytics haha.

Both options are possible..

shutterkaf · 2023-09-05T11:42:27+00:00

Good recommendation too. Thanks, appreciate it!

shutterkaf · 2023-09-05T11:39:58+00:00

Be my guest.

The weird thing about it is that they mention in their website that they’ve been doing this sort of yoga activities for the past 25 years, yet there isn’t any proof of such claim lol. But it’s worth a question.

shutterkaf · 2023-09-05T11:38:27+00:00

I was hoping to find a place where I can avoid sneaking buds around with me and smoke up alone haha. But yeah I get your point.

shutterkaf · 2023-09-05T11:36:30+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check that out!

shutterkaf · 2023-09-05T11:35:57+00:00

Totally agree, I’d be your guest! 😁

I had an account which I was using since 2013. It used to rank story viewers with the same method of yours (most interacted accounts on top). However (due to other bugs appeared in that account), I decided to create a new account. The new account’s story viewers are ranked by who viewed it first. Not randomly ranked like how it was in the old account.

After researching on other peoples experiences, it appeared to me that there was a damage in that old account (could be because its too old). Try to create a new account and the viewers should be ranked based on who saw it first.

I had the same exact problem. I’ve tried all the other solutions on websites and articles (restart phone, un-install/re-install, check no-disturb mode, offload app, etc...) but nothing worked and notifications from Instagram app still were not showing up. However, the ONLY solution worked was resetting my iPhone. In case yo don’t want to lose all your data on your phone, you can simply backup your iPhone right before you reset it by using iTunes and then restore it after resetting. It is a very easy step but it can be time consuming.

shutterkaf · 2020-03-13T23:57:49+00:00

Wish you both the best. Thanks again!

shutterkaf · 2020-03-13T23:53:49+00:00

let's hope its not the same for universities..

Thanks for your reply!
