short article. 

eight million photos of at least 6.5 million foreign nationals and the collection has been built up over a number of years.

separate database of more than 1.2 million photos for dutch citizens and foreigners who are crime suspects or convicts. 
authorities claim the foreigner database is only accessed with a judge's permission. twice in 2022. 
comments from people claiming this larger database is illegal. >

When they say an immigration database, they mean that Netherlands is storing photos of people who request an NL visa, and not everyone who is passing through Schengen passport control at AMS, correct? Because it seems like 6.5M photos would be too low if they are harvesting AMS passport control. >

Yes, immigrants and asylum seekers, as i understand it. >

I think the person above who said this is happening in many places, whether or not it’s being admitted, is basically right. >

Going into the UK I got my picture snapped, my fingerprint taken and my eye scanned. I wasn’t told before I flew that they would do that, and didn’t really have a choice once I had landed there. I assume that my picture, eye scan and fingerprints are now connected together and shared with AUKUS at a minimum, probably further.
