Thanks, Tobias

sounds like:

"We have Type-B visa to sell, don't expect us to tell you about
 these free 'visa wwaiver' products from the competition
 that have us fear about our jobs"

The consulate in Amsterdam insists that I need a Type-B visa, and requests a full range of documents about TU Delft (full financial report of the last year, overview of employees etc., signed and sealed by the executive board of TU Delft, including copies of their passports). In addition, from the company that is employing me in Thailand (I presume that this means THNic), they also want a copy of the passport of the person signing the LOI in addition to the LOI, signed and sealed financial reports of the current year, official registration, list of employees etc.
