Netherlands embassy in Beirut

Due to reconstruction work in and around the building, access to the embassy for visitors is restricted.

During reconstruction works in and around the embassy, the consular section is relocated to the office of VFS Global Beirut.

For all consular services an appointment is required. Please note the days on which the embassy is closed.

Due to Corona/COVID-19 our consular services have been adjusted. For a visit to the consular section the following COVID-19 measures apply:

• You need to wear a face mask.
