Applying for a Netherlands visa from Nigeria, step by step

TLScontact Abuja or Lagos, depending on your state. A pilot route.

About 30 minutes, plus an appointment · pictures checked October 2026

The pictures with the form and the Submit button use a test portal and a fictional specimen passport. The official site looks different, but the steps are the same.

1. 1

   Open the right website

   TLScontact: the French site for Lagos, the Belgian one for Abuja.

   Tip: Type it or use the button on your Faylo page.

   
2. 2

   Have these ready

   A TLScontact account, passport, trip details and the documents they list.

   
3. 3

   Your details fill in

   Name, passport and trip details appear on each page.

   
4. 4

   The personal questions are yours

   Yes/no questions and 'I certify' boxes stay empty and highlighted.

   Tip: Answer them yourself, truthfully.

   
5. 5

   Know the fee and the wait

   Check the visa and service fees on TLScontact before you pay.

   
6. 6

   Then, outside the form

   Appointment at your centre, fingerprints, documents, then the decision.

   Tip: Which centre depends on the state you live in.

   
7. 7

   You pay and press Submit

   We never do. Keep the confirmation.

   Tip: This route is invite-only while we confirm TLScontact's rules.
