Making an appointment

If you are in the United Kingdom and need a product or service from the Dutch government, find out how to make an appointment.

The embassy processes a large number of applications, which means you may not be able to make an appointment right away. If you are not able to make an appointment, try again later, as slots may become available due to cancellations or re-scheduling.

If you can’t make an appointment as fast as you need to, or if you don’t want to wait any longer, make an appointment at VFS Global. This company works for the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. VFS Global has appointment locations in London, Edinburgh and Birmingham.
