I've been appointed as project Manager for our SAP roll-out across the EU. Our head office is in the Netherlands (I am based in Ireland) and I've been instructed to attend the first of many meetings there on the 8th of September.
Unfortuntately the timing is bad, I go to renew my permission to remain in Ireland on the 27th of August, so I am planning on going straight to the Dutch Embassy afterwards.
Will this be enough time to get a Business travel visa for the Netherlands? If it matters, I'm a South African National who's lived in Ireland for the past 10 years. Their website says 10 days processing time and if that's the case I'm kinda screwed
The only other schengen visa I've ever had was in 2001 for a weekend trip to the Italian Grand Prix...
