If you are a EU/EER/Swiss national (not being Dutch) and the family member (partner/child(ren) ) holds a non-EU nationality, a special procedure “Verification against the EU law” (Toetsing aan het EU recht) is applicable. Having this type of the residence permit, allows your Non-EU family member to stay in the Netherlands with you. If a family member holds a nationality for which the Schengen-Visa is required to enter the Netherlands, then the so-called “facilitation Visa” (Type C) has to be arranged before moving to the Netherlands. This visa can be obtained at the Dutch Embassy in the country of the residency. When applying for this visa, the non-EU family member has to mention that he/she intends to live in the Netherlands with an EU family member. The Embassy will ask for the proof (for example, legalised birth/marriage certificates).
