Visser's career began aged 15 when she participated in an election for finest European Model in Capri. She finished third, and met the photographer David Hamilton, who took her to Saint-Tropez.[why?] Visser's breakthrough came on May 14, 1976, in Zandvoort where she won the Miss Netherlands title. A month later, in the elections for Miss Europe held in Rhodes, she came third again, but decided not to take part in the international contests that year. The runner-up, Nanny Nielen, took her place.
As a result of her fame as a model, Visser played a number of film roles. In June 1987 and December 1989 she posed in the Dutch edition of Playboy.
