Visa and entry information for Dutch citizens

Dutch citizens do not need a visa for short tourist stays in Brazil (up to 90 days); a valid passport is required. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes the current entry rules in its travel advice (in Dutch); check it before booking.

Closing days

Like most offices in the Netherlands, the consulate general closes on public holidays – including Easter Monday, King’s Day and Christmas; the Brazilian national day (7 September) usually means a closure too. Many missions also close on their own national and religious holidays – call ahead.

Emergency assistance

In an emergency, Brazilian citizens should contact the consulate general or the embassy. Consular staff can replace lost travel documents and inform relatives; they cannot pay bills or act as a lawyer. In the Netherlands, the emergency number is 112; for non-urgent police matters call 0900 8844.
