Hi,

I don%26#39;t know for sure if it is possible for you to see the White House, but you can probably look into it fairly easily.

For U.S. citizens, there is a process for requesting a White House tour through your Congressperson, but that wouldn%26#39;t be a option for you. What you should do is try to contact the Netherlands embassy here in DC and see if they can help you get a tour.

Another issue is that most people need to request their tours 6 months or so in advance to get in. Obviously you have less time than that, but still, check with your embassy and see if there are any openings.

I know that non-US citizens have posted on here before about trying to get a tour--but I%26#39;m not sure if anyone succeeded!

They usually want 6 months in advance but call (202) 456-7041 for the most updated information on tours of the white house.

I%26#39;ve checked with the embassy and they said that it%26#39;s impossible for non americains to visit the white house. Thank you for your suggestions.

Bye bye

Our family is hosting 2 students from France this summer who also wanted to see the White House. We contacted our senator%26#39;s office and gave that office the security information that was needed. We gave our family%26#39;s social security numbers and birthdates. The French students gave their passport number and birthdates. We are all going soon. Hope this helps.

It seems you have to be with Americans (or residents from a congressional district). That%26#39;s unfortunate. Makes some friends while your here and they can book it for you next time :-)
