Frequently Asked Questions
No. A business visa permits activities such as attending meetings, conferences, negotiations, and business discussions. It does not permit taking up employment or performing paid work in Curaçao. A separate work permit would be required for that purpose.
Contact the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Islamabad, as the Netherlands manages Curaçao's external affairs. You can also consult the Curaçao Investment Promotion Agency (InvestCuraçao) for business-related guidance.
