Visa D; Schengen; to Netherlands

For Those who want to go to Europe for School, except to England.

Do not think after you've got the aproval Visa from your school/university, your visa will arrive in your Hand.

For Taking the VISA, you need an effort for sure..

and one think you have to remember, DON'T BUY A TICKET BEFORE U GET UR VISA IN UR HAND!

Sound so scary, but it's true..

Based on my experience, when I want to go to Holland, off course as a student

I missed this part, my School (who arranged our trip) in Indonesia, booked a ticket first before a news about Visa came!!

Oh My God..back to the time..I was so nervous, because I've told my flight in sunday, and I got the Visa approval from Netherland on Wednesday, so I only got 2 days to take my Visa in Dutch Erasmus Huis (Dutch ambassador) in Jakarta.

I call NESO immediately to help me, pick my Visa, because what I know from my previous college who came to Netherland, to pick up the Visa from Ambassador, need times,,at least 10 days office-days. But for me impossible to wait for 10 days, because my ticket is already booked, and I can't cancle that.

Beside Neso, I also try to call and e-mail the officer who arrange the Visa in Ambasador, and she said it's impossible for them to collect me n my friends's (I have to go with 2 friends) Visa in two days, especially on friday, they will close at 3 o'clock.

But thanks to God, by Neso help, we can take our visa because of Neso help (speciall thanks for Ibu Uci/Susi Handayani) who help us contack with Neso's officer, and make it possible to take it on friday :)

Even, me and my friend had to travel Bandung-Jakarta-Bandung in two days, but finally we can go with "safety"..Alhamdulillah.

Oh ya For information, this VISA can be use to go arround the Europe countries (except England), and when you arrive at Holland, You still have to register your self in Gemente( Province governance)  in the city where u're live, me..because I live in capital city of Friesland, Leeuwarden, so I register my self in Gemente, Leeuwarden. And after one month I take my ID-card (like KTP, in Indonesia) in Immigration Office, IND,  Zwolle (red : the name of city). This ID is important, because if u want to travel arround Europe countries, u have to take this ID with you (also ur passport).

Finally, I have registered my self, and I can travel safely..Hope this information can help you
