How long does it typically take for this to be returned to you after you submit?

When we traveled through Amsterdam in 2006 it took about 5 days...don't know now.

I think mine took 3 weeks in 2004.

Typically about 3-5 days. I got mine back in 3 by fax.

I faxed my application in early February, waited a month and then found out that for whatever reason I was not "in" their computer system. With the very able assistance of Jamie in Adam Clements office i refaxed and had my permit several days later.

Sam,

We are the best!!!!!! You would expect something less????

I sent my app in months in advance but didn't receive approval. So, I called Holland and was told (very nicely), "Don't worry. If you haven't received 10 days before your departure, call back and we'll fax it right away." Sure enough, about 2 weeks before my flight I received the permit.
