Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- Diplomats and official representatives from Suriname and the Benelux countries can now travel without a visa for short stays of up to 90 days.
- This measure applies strictly to individuals holding a valid diplomatic or official service passport.
- Nothing changes for regular citizens: if you travel with a standard passport, standard visa requirements still apply.
