You can obtain your fishing permit (VISpas) from our reception. It costs € 30,00 and is valid (after you have sent back the second half) for the whole year.

What does the “VISpas” contain?

  • The VISpas and its associated List of Fishing Waters allows you to fish in all waters mentioned in the list. You may fish with two rods using the permitted types of bait.

  • You will receive one pass as proof of membership of the Federation and Angling Society of the Netherlands (de federatie én Sportvisserij Nederland), which saves a lot of paperwork.

  • In this way, you are helping to maintain good control, manage fish population and organise competitions.

  • You become a member of the ‘Sportvisserij Nederland’ and accordingly contribute towards the interests of the Dutch angler so that you can and may continue fishing for the foreseeable future.

Do you already have a fishing permit?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to fish in the whole of the Netherlands using just one document. This is due to ownership situations. You will receive a “VISpas” from each society of which you are a member. However, you only need to pay the national contribution to one of the societies. You can ask for a reimbursement later via www.vispas.nl

Temporary fishing permit 
This form consists of 2 parts. The top half needs to be completed in full and gives the right to fish in all waters mentioned in both the National list and the Federative list of fishing waters for one month.

If you want to continue fishing after this month, you will need to complete the bottom half of this form in full, and send it stamped to the address stated on the reverse side. Your permanent “VISpas” will then be sent by post to the address you have given within 10 days.

If you don’t complete and fill in the bottom half, and you still want to continue fishing after this month has expired, you will need to purchase this form again and fill in the bottom half.
