How do I Get an Amsterdam Visa From Houston?
To visit Amsterdam, you may need to get a visa for the Netherlands. If you are a US citizen, you will not need a visa to visit Amsterdam for a short visit (under 90 days), but citizens of many other countries will need one, even if they are US residents. The Embassy of the Netherlands has a number of consulates around the US, including one in Houston, where you can get your visa.

Carry a prepaid self-addressed envelope if you want to have your approved visa mailed back to you. This might be necessary if you do not live in Houston, as it can take 5 business days or longer for the visa to be processed.

Visit the Netherlands consulate on Richmond Avenue in Houston to submit your application between 8 am and 1 pm Mondays through Fridays. Unlike most other Netherlands consulates, the Houston office accepts walk-in appointments, so there is no need to schedule an online appointment in advance.
