Visa

All applicants for visa, Dutch passports or other consular matters are required to schedule an appointment.

Visa
Applications for visas need to be submitted in person, at most offices this is by appointment only. Please click here to schedule an appointment.
After processing, your passport with visa can be returned to you by mail or you can pick it up in person at the office you applied at.
The choice to have your passport and other original documents send back is made under your sole responsibility. The Embassy or Consulates do not accept any liability for damage or loss of documents.

For mailing within the USA :
Submit a self-addressed label, recommended with tracking services (e.g. UPS, FedEx or Express mail), listing the APPLICANTS name as the sender, but followed by the embassy's address, no matter where you submit your application. The sender section of your label needs to read as follows:

<Your Name>
4200 Linnean Avenue
Washington, DC 20008

Make sure that your payment details are listed on the label or that the label is pre-paid, depending on the service you use.
Labels that are marked COD (cash on delivery) will not be accepted nor will we accept labels that mention the Embassy or Regional Support Office as shipper.
Shipping labels need to be submitted at the time of application and cannot be submitted to the regional support office at a later time.

Please note
In order to apply for a visa, you must have a valid signed passport with at least two empty pages.
The original date of issue of the passport must be within the last ten years. Passports older than ten years will be refused.
If your passport does not meet these requirements you will need to apply for a new passport before submitting your application.
