Visa requirements:

A visa for the European parts of the Netherlands is not valid for the Dutch Caribbean!


When you need a visa to visit Bonaire you need to be aware that this visa is one specifically for the Caribbean part of the Netherlands, in other words, a visa for the Netherlands is only valid for the European part of Holland, and subsequently a visa for the BES islands is not valid in the European part of Holland.

The following explanation can be found on www.minbuza.nl:
“Kingdom of the Netherlands
The Kingdom of the Netherlands comprises four countries: the Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. In terms of geography, the Netherlands as a country is split into two: the Netherlands in Europe, and the Caribbean parts of the Netherlands. Schengen visa regulations only apply to the Netherlands in Europe.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Caribbean consists of the countries Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten and the three Dutch public bodies Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba (sometimes shortened to BES or B.E.S.).
The terms ‘countries’, ‘Caribbean parts of the Netherlands’ and ‘Caribbean’ used in the application form and in this explanatory note refer to Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the B.E.S.. ‘Embassy’, ‘consulate’ and ‘mission’ all refer to the missions of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in third countries. Contact details are available at www.minbuza.nl.
This application form can be used to apply for a short stay visa/short stay Caribbean visa (up to 90 days) for these countries only. The Caribbean visa is valid for the Caribbean only, i.e. it is not valid for the Netherlands in Europe.”
