The Netherlands Office Taipei represents interests of the Netherlands in Taiwan in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy. Its counterpart in the Netherlands is the Taipei Representative Office in the Netherlands in The Hague.

## History

[edit]

The representative office was established in 1981 as the Netherlands Council for Trade Promotion, later Netherlands Trade and Investment Office, a private foundation, but dependent on the Ministry of Economic Affairs for 70 per cent of its funding.[1] In April 2020, it was renamed to Netherlands Office Taipei.[3]

It also has a Visa and Consular Department, which handles all visa applications and consular matters for Taiwan.[4]

The Office is headed by the Representative, Guido Tielman, who was appointed in August 2020.[2]

## Transportation

[edit]

The office is accessible within walking distance south of Taipei City Hall Station of Taipei Metro.
