Extra service for seafarers


Aliens requiring a visa who wish to extend their stay in the Netherlands must renew their visas in time.
Seafarers residing in the Rotterdam-Rijnmond area can renew their visas at the Visa Renewals and Conversions Department of the Seaport Police.
To renew their visas, seafarers should apply to the Rotterdam-havens border crossing point, at St. Jobsweg 6, Rotterdam, to make an appointment.
Applications can be dealt with only on working days (Mondays to Fridays) from 9 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.

To speed up the procedure, seafarers should bring the following documents for the issuance of the renewal:

  • A work permit, if they have one
  • A guarantee declaration from their employer
  • A certificate of security deposit
  • Any other letters and/or forms that may be relevant to the issuance of the renewal
