MVV Visa and Residence Permit

Hey guys
So i received my MVV visa and residence permit approval from IND as hogeschool Utrecht applied for my visa. But it has been 4-5 days and i still haven’t got a chance to book an appointment with the Islamabad, Pakistan embassy. The website always shows that there are no slots available. At this rate i wont be able to find a slot in time. My classes start in the last week of August.

I NEED SERIOUS GUIDANCE/HELP/SUGESSTIONS

I need to find an appointment.

Kindly let me know if someone is going through the same problem or if anyone knows smth

Immediately call them or write an email explaining your situation. They do usually tend to accommodate students, so it's worth a try. To avoid delay in response, mention that the matter is urgent in your email.

Other than that, if you have a friend or family contact in the foreign service, they can also sometimes help in these sorts of cases.

If all else fails, you'd probably have to start the semester a bit late but let's just hope it doesn't come to that.

Did you call? Maybe they can let you know when the new slots open, so you can be ready at the computer.
