Because of the cancellation of the FIG Working Week participants do
not have to (and can not) apply for visa.

Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19, the Dutch Government has
announced a complete visa suspension until at least 6
April, following the current measurements in the Netherlands related to
COVID-19. Below it is explained what this means for attendees that are
in need of a visa:
Update per 20 March 2020 - PLEASE NOTE:
- Participants who still need to apply for a visa: no visa
applications will be processed. the appointment systems are closed.
The Ministry indicates that the period (until 6 April) can be
extended.
- Accepted visas: cases with travel period until 6 April will be
cancelled under code covid-19 (so the next time you apply, it is
clear that this was the reason for cancellation). VFS will not
contact these participants because visas have already been accepted.
It is very likely that the period will be extended and it is wise to
(re)consider your personal circumstances and planning.
- Visas currently being processed: applications that are submitted
up until yesterday will be processed and will be refused under code
covid-19. VFS will inform the applicants about this and appointments
will be cancelled.
