Earlier in the day, news channels carried out the story stating the Netherlands Embassy in Pakistan has been closed down for security reasons.
An hour after the news hit the media, an official statement from the Dutch embassy clarified that the embassy had been closed since 9th November due to some construction work.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the issuing of visa has been halted temporarily.
As soon as this situation is solved, appointments for visa applications can be made through the visa application centers of VFS Global in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi.
The Netherlands embassy in Islamabad is currently also unable to receive applications for Dutch passports or other consular services.
