The Netherlands Embassy in Argentina also covers Uruguay and Paraguay and therefore the Netherlands honorary consuls in Montevideo and Asuncion play a fundamental role in strengthening international ties at the local level. Appointed by the King of the Netherlands, they represent and promote Dutch interests. Their work combines diplomacy, consular assistance to Dutch citizens, and the promotion of economic ties between both countries.

The honorary consuls are chosen for their strong ties to the Netherlands. Their role is to assist Dutch nationals with consular issues such as stolen passports, legal troubles, or serious health concerns. They also help Dutch descendants with nationality-related matters. In recent years, our honorary consuls have become increasingly active in the economic sphere, identifying opportunities for Dutch businesses and connecting the embassy in Buenos Aires with regional and local authorities when needed.
