The IND in the Netherlands is a twisted game. Beware: I applied for my visa extension months ago. I also paid for it, without a guarantee of acceptance. Finally this week, I receive a package from them. Pleased, I thought, hey, it's here! But I was wrong. Instead, it was a new form, telling me I have 2 weeks to return the form with my signature and a new photo. There are new photo guidelines, and my old picture, accepted the first time, was now obsolete. Now, I have to go pay for the set of passport photos that I do not need, and get it back to them within 1 week. And I am off to France for the long weekend. Don't know if I'll be kicked out of the country, but just be warned yourself: guidelines are changing all the time. Sometimes they are not even explained on the forms themselves, and as usual, these forms, including the letters they send to you requesting additional information or changes, are all in Dutch. Helpful for foreigners, no? Forced assimilation!
