Hi All,

I am from South Africa and my husband (who is a Dutch citizen). We are moving to the Netherlands and have in November put in the application for spousal visa.

I am however wondering if anyone knows if I can go visit in Netherlands for a few days while awaiting the application. I already have a valid travel visa.

Thanks

Jacqui

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Based on what you've told us, I can't think why not.  The IND does have an information page on their website where you can ask questions; this link will take you there.

Hope this helps.
