Applying for a second passport in the Netherlands

You can apply for a business passport if you often travel abroad. A business passport has extra pages for foreign customs stamps and/or visas. Do you regularly visit different countries for business or personal reasons? Sometimes stamps from visited countries in your passport cause problems when entering another country. This is when a second passport is a solution. To apply for a second passport, your first passport must still be valid for at least six months. You must also be able to prove that you need the second passport. You can find more information on the central government website.
