USA to Holland

[Martin71]

Hi, can someone tell me what i need to do to get my girlfriend over to Holland from USA for longer than 90 days? What i need for that?

I thought that those from the US could travel to Europe for up to 6 months on a tourist waver? Someone will step in and correct me if I am wrong.

Not without applying for an additional visa, no. The visa-free tourist travel is for up to 90 days every 180 days.

I thought that was for waivers going into the US. When my ex flew in 2007 they gave him 6 months. It must have changed since.

My understanding is that she would need a residence permit. This involved A LOT of paperwork, biometric data, fees, and proof of finances. I believe the only way she can get this is to work or study in the Netherlands. For extended periods of time (you didn't specify if it's a long vacation or a permanent solution), there are unmarried partner and marriage visas you can get to sponsor her stay. I don't have a lot of information, but the internet is your best friend in this situation.

Yup, she'll need to apply for an 'mvv' (Machtiging tot voorlopig verblijf) and then a residence permit. Same questions as asked above though, why would she visit you for more than 90 days in a year? Or do you want to get her to live here?
