The Dutch diplomatic network to China represents Dutch citizens and Dutch interests in China. The network consists of the Embassy in Beijing and Consulates-General in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing and Hong Kong, as well as six Netherlands Business Support Offices (NBSO's) in second tier cities.

All representations, except the Consulate-general in Chongqing, can help you with the following consular acts:

• Legalisations of Chinese documents that have already been legalised by the Chinese authorities and that are to be used in administrative procedures in the Netherlands.
• Drawing up Consular declarations:
• Certificates of civil status.
• Certificates of life.
• Certificates of residence.
• Certificates of nationality.
• Confirmation of acquisition of Dutch nationality (optie).
• Applying for Dutch passports.
• Applying for emergency passports or Laissez Passers.
• Legalising signatures of Dutch nationals.
• Certified copy of a Dutch passport.
• Taking the civic integration examinations (as well as applying for a exemption thereof).
• Applying for Schengen visas for the Netherlands.
• Applying for visas for Aruba or the Dutch Antilles.
• Applying for long term visas (MVVs).
• Civic integration examinations for long term visas (MVVs).

The Dutch Embassy in Beijing can additionally help you with the following consular acts:

• All certificates and acts mentioned above.
• Drawing up of the following certificates:
• Birth certificates of Dutch citizens.
• Death certificate of Dutch citizens.
• Issuance of extracts from the certificates drawn up in the Embassy in the past.

If Dutch passport is lost abroad, the nearest Dutch Embassy or Consulate can help obtain a new passport or temporary travel document (emergency passport or laissez passer). Although it is not required to report the loss of the passport to the local police, it is recommended to do so, with a view to a subsequent claim to the insurance company.

Citizens of China need visas to visit the Netherlands.

If you wish to apply for a Schengen visa, you will need to:

• Provide a passport or other travel document with at least two empty visa pages. The passport or travel document should have been issued within the last 10 years. It must be valid for at least three months beyond the date on which you intend to leave the Schengen Area.
• Provide a completed and signed Schengen visa application form.
• Any person also travelling on your travel document must have a separate application form. Forms for children under 18 years old must be signed by a parent or guardian.
• Provide a photo that meets Dutch requirements.
• In the countries where the Visa Information System has been rolled out, your fingerprints will be taken when you submit your application. Specific categories of applicants, such as children under 12 years old, are exempted from this requirement.
• Pay a visa fee when you submit your application.
• Pay a service fee if you submit your application at the offices of an external service provider.

As a general rule, a decision will be taken on your application within 15 calendar days.

The Embassy is closed on public holidays.
