- The visa requirement applies to all children, regardless of age. They must have their own visa sticker,
which means that they must have their own passport. Fees do not need to be paid for visa applications
for children under the age of six.
- Even if married to a Dutch national, an alien whose nationality requires him or her to have a visa is
still required to apply for a visa and pay the visa application fee.
