On January 4, 2010, the Consulate General of the Netherlands will open its new office in the One Montgomery Tower in San Francisco. With the
move to San Francisco, the Consulate will further enhance its presence in the Western United States by leveraging strong local networks in water management, climate change, biotech, nanotech, new media/gaming,
and IT. The new location will also benefit the Consulate by virtue of its close proximity to Sacramento.
The new office in San Francisco will be the base of activities for the Dutch government in the
Western United States. The Consulate’s Consular, Economic, and Press & Culture
departments, which will move from Los Angeles, will be joined in San Francisco by
representatives from the Netherlands Business Support Office (NBSO), the Netherlands
Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA), and the Netherlands Office for Science & Technology
(NOST), who are moving to San Francisco from San Mateo.
The Los Angeles office will remain open at the current location on Wilshire Blvd., servicing passport and visa applications and War Victims Department (WUV) clients.
“With the move, we bring together a strong team,” says Consul General Bart van Bolhuis.
“United in San Francisco, we strengthen our presence not only locally, but also beyond the
Bay Area. In fact, we will remain active in Los Angeles with our cultural and economic
activities. It is helpful, therefore, that we will keep our office on Wilshire Blvd.”
