Honorary consuls
Our five honorary consuls are of great value as our "eyes and ears" on the ground in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. They identify opportunities in their region for Dutch businesses and expertise and they help open doors. In doing so, they remain closely connected to the Dutch community. They can also assist in case of natural disasters or emergencies.
Please note that honorary consuls do not issue passports, ID-cards, visa, officials documents or declarations; for such consular questions, please visit Netherlands WorldWide).
