  "title": "Netherlands Admission and Residence to Stay with a Family Member (MVV Entry Visa + Residence Permit), Form 9511",
  "description": "Apply for admission and residence in the Netherlands to stay with a family member (the sponsor), via the Immigration and Naturalisation Service's (IND) Form 9511, 'Application for admission and residence 'to stay with a family member' (foreign national)'. This is the family-reunification route to a provisional residence visa (MVV, a Type D national entry visa) and the follow-on ordinary residence permit: a foreign national aged 12 or older, staying outside the Netherlands, applies at a Dutch embassy or consulate in their country of origin or continuous residence to join a sponsor who is married to, in a registered partnership with, or the unmarried partner of the applicant, or is the sponsor's (or the sponsor's spouse's/partner's) minor child. The embassy/consulate registers the application and issues a V-number; the applicant then completes and returns this form, with means of evidence and the civic-integration-examination-abroad and tuberculosis-test declarations, to the IND within three weeks. This document models the form's own field set: the applicant's core identity/travel-document data, the minor-applicant legal-representative branch, the sponsor's situation and (if already resident in the Netherlands) their own identity/residence-status data, the civic integration exam and TB test declarations, the means-of-evidence relationship classifier and its branching document requirements, the post-approval MVV collection details, and signing. The harmonised Schengen short-stay (C-visa) route for the Netherlands is a confirmed dead end for this registry (consular.mfaservices.nl is account-gated); this document is unrelated to that route. It does not model the 'Notification form for family members and relatives' (used after admission to report a change in circumstances), the appendices this form's own means-of-evidence section references by name (e.g. 'Declaration by sponsor (family and relatives)', 'Antecedents certificate', 'Declaration of relationship', 'Questionnaire for residence with partner', 'Certificate of non-impediment', 'Civic integration examination abroad') as separate schema documents, or the Basisregistratie Personen (BRP) municipal-registration step that follows a granted application. It does not submit the application; the live ind.nl source is always authoritative — see VERIFICATION.md.",

Fetched ind.nl/en/forms/9511.pdf fresh (HTTP 200, 397,176 bytes, 10 pages). The PDF carries no AcroForm/XFA fields (a plain printed-form text layer, confirmed via a raw byte scan for the /AcroForm marker), so all fields were reconstructed from the PDF's own text-layer glyph x/y coordinates via pdfjs-dist, including recovering the hierarchical structure of the 3.11 sponsor residence-status checklist (a top-level checkbox column at x=218 with an indented sub-choice column at x=254 nested under 'Residence Permit, namely.') that a naive line-by-line read would have flattened into one list. Modelled from a single source copy only (ind.nl's own canonical hosting); no independent byte-for-byte mirror was located and cross-checked this cycle, unlike several other registry documents that confirm a form via two independent hosts. Status remains 'draft' pending a field-by-field cross-check against a second independently hosted mirror of the same form. See VERIFICATION.md."
