Netherlands visa requirements for Japanese citizens
Japanese citizens do not currently need a visa to visit the Netherlands for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism or business. However, starting in late 2026 or 2027, travelers from Japan will need to obtain an ETIAS travel authorization before entering the Netherlands or other Schengen Area countries.
ETIAS for the Netherlands: A mandatory online travel authorization for visa-exempt travelers visiting the Schengen Area. Once implemented, it will allow Japanese citizens to enter the Netherlands for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism, business, or transit.

My experience is that the information is good but sometimes I don't have sure how to do that so quickly 😅 for now I think it will be okay
It was simple fill in Form and it took several minutes To fill in, super easy.
The process was quick and relatively painless. Applied for two documents each for two of us for the Netherlands & Portugal. Had the Netherlands approval within an hour. Processing of Portugal form needs to be held until closer to departure, Were able to easily check requirements for all 5 of the countries we will be visiting.
The photo quality could be a bit better. Also it took us 6 business days to receive the photographs.
Extortionate . I only just found out you can simply fill the form in yourself in 5 minutes. How on earth can you charge such a huge amount?
Very simple process and easy instructions, 2 countries more to do but have to wait for timing. Glad one could get done in advance
