Passport Requirements.—Holland.

Department of Internal Affairs,

Wellington, 11th March, 1919.

The undernoted information received from the Netherlands Minister for Foreign Affairs, London, regarding
the admission into and expulsion of foreigners from Holland,
is published for general information:—

Pursuant to Article 2 of the law of 13th August, 1849
(Bulletin of Laws No. 39), governing the admission and
expulsion of aliens, every alien desiring to be admitted to the
Netherlands must be furnished with a passport from the
competent authority of his own country, endorsed by a
diplomatic or consular officer accredited by the Government
of this country.

As the scarcity of provisions in the Kingdom obliges the
Queen's Government to take measures to restrict the influx
of aliens into the Netherlands, I have given instructions to
diplomatic and consular officers to endorse no passports
as from the 15th November last except after having obtained
in each special case the authority of the Royal Passport
Office, which will decide in my name. This authorization
will not be accorded unless the necessity for the journey is
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the above-mentioned
bureau.
