I am not so sure about this. The following is the items from MVV application form. If shoplifting is not sentenced by the court as imprisonment. I think it does not belong to it. I suggest you ask the Dutch embassy in HK. Good luck
I have never been sentenced to a term of imprisonment - nor have I received a custodial order - for
committing a crime;
– I have never been sentenced to perform unpaid work for the benefit of the general public, or to
perform community service, for committing a crime;
– I have never received an unconditional fine for committing a crime;
– I have never accepted an out-of-court settlement for committing a crime;
– I have never received a punishment order for committing a crime;
– I am currently not involved in criminal proceedings for committing a crime;
– I have never been responsible for one of the following categories of acts as referred to in Article
1F of the Convention on Refugees of 1951: a crime against peace, a war crime, or a crime against
humanity, a serious non-political crime (e.g. murder or an act of terrorism), or acts contrary to the
purposes and principles of the United Nations (e.g. acts of terrorism); and
– I am familiar with the fact that a sentence for committing a crime may result in a refusal of a
