Chile Embassy The Hague

Before your visit

You will find the embassy at Parkstraat 30 (2514 JK The Hague).

• Opening hours: not published by the Dutch government – check the embassy’s website or call before you go.
• Bring: your passport or ID card, plus originals and copies of every document needed for your application.

Who runs the Chilean Embassy?

Hernán Bascuñan heads the embassy as ambassador; the Dutch protocol list gives 24 June 2026 as the date of the presentation of credentials. The Hague is the seat of the Dutch government and of international institutions such as the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the OPCW, so many embassies in the city also follow their work. Chile also has a consulate general in Amsterdam. One honorary consulate supports Chilean citizens in other parts of the Netherlands.

Consular services

What you can usually arrange here:

• Chilean passports and emergency travel documents
• Certificates for pensions abroad
• Citizenship and civil register matters
• Visas for travellers who need one for Chile

Depending on where you live, consular matters may also be handled by the consulate general in Amsterdam. The Dutch government does not publish the consular districts – ask the embassy if in doubt.

Documents checklist

What Chilean citizens usually need to bring for the most common requests, based on official Chilean government information:

Chilean passport (application abroad)

• Book an appointment in the consulate’s online agenda – passport and identity card can be done in the same appointment
• Your Chilean identity card must be valid; if it has expired, renew it together with the passport
• Your previous passport, which is kept and cancelled (if lost: Chilean ID card and police report)
• Photos are usually taken at the consulate
• Minors: both parents, or a recent apostilled notarial authorisation from the absent parent
• Passports are made in Chile – allow several weeks

Travelling from the Netherlands to Chile

Dutch citizens do not need a visa for short tourist stays in Chile (up to 90 days); a valid passport is required. Details: Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs – travel advice (in Dutch).

Closing days

Like most offices in the Netherlands, the embassy closes on public holidays – including Easter Monday, King’s Day and Christmas as well as on the Chilean national day, 18 September. Many missions also close on their own national and religious holidays – call ahead.

Emergency assistance

In an emergency, Chilean citizens should call the embassy on +31 70 312 36 40. The embassy can help with lost passports, arrests and serious accidents, but it cannot cover costs or interfere with Dutch authorities. In the Netherlands, the emergency number is 112; for non-urgent police matters call 0900 8844.
