Do I need an appointment?
Ask in advance whether your service needs a booked slot.
Closing days
Like most offices in Sweden, the embassy closes on public holidays – including Epiphany (6 January), Ascension Day and All Saints’ Day. It is usually also closed on the Netherlands’ national day (27 April). If your visit falls close to a holiday, confirm by phone or e-mail.
Emergency assistance
Dutch nationals in urgent need of help can reach the embassy on +46 8 556 933 00. The embassy can help with lost passports, arrests and serious accidents, but it cannot cover costs or interfere with Swedish authorities. In Sweden, the emergency number is 112.
