Can I realistically get a Netherlands tourist visa in my situation?

Question

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice about getting a visa to visit the Netherlands.

I’m Sudanese, but I’ve lived my whole life in Qatar. I’d like to visit my cousin in the Netherlands for about two weeks this summer, she actually suggested I come stay with her. I don’t travel very often, so this would be a nice change for me.

I know that Sudanese passports can make visa applications more difficult, so I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with a similar situation or knows what my chances might be before I apply. I’d also appreciate any tips on how to strengthen my application.
