Bring young adult child to Netherlands

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Not specifically for children; a 20-year-old is not regarded as a child in the Netherlands.  I have heard of the IND permitting close family applications for those who are absolutely dependent on the applicants.  For example, because of a disability, or because of old age and importantly there is nobody in the home country to who they can turn to for assistance; you should be aware that if you go down this route, that the Dutch Social Services will check with your home country social Department to ascertain the facts of the case, they will not just take your word for it.

If you have read otherwise in an article by a lawyer, then my advice is to speak to that lawyer to take this further.

Hope this helps.
