How long does it take to get a DAFT Visa?
This is my personal experience through the process of obtaining my DAFT visa from the Netherlands. The whole process took me exactly 4 months.
Use this DAFT Visa timeline as an estimate of how long it will take you.
It took me exactly 4 months from the time I started my DAFT Visa application to when I picked up my official residence card. I was out of the country for a few months during this process. I could have actually picked up my residence card sooner (a few weeks sooner).
The time it takes to obtain your DAFT Visa may be completely different. I hope this will give you an idea of what to expect from the turnaround times during the process.
