Below is a complete list of state visits made and received by Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. Three to four state visits are usually made each year by King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima to a foreign head of state, and two to three state visits from other heads of state are usually received to the Netherlands. King Willem-Alexander who has reigned since 2013 has made 30 state visits as of 2025. Today a state visit is accompanied by large trade delegations and is seen as an important venue to promote trade and other business relations as well as cultural and political ties between the two countries.
