A Netherlands Tourist Visa is a short-stay Schengen Visa, also called Type C visa. It allows people to visit the Netherlands for tourism, holidays, visiting family or friends, or short business trips. With this visa, you can stay in the Netherlands and other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It is meant only for temporary visits and not for work or long-term stay. The Netherlands must be your main destination when you apply for this visa.
