He made his debut for the Netherlands in 1909 away to Belgium, which the Dutch won 1-4. A month later he received his second cap in a 4-0 home loss against England. His third and final cap was a 3-2 defeat against Belgium in 1910. Gonsalves was a part of the Dutch Olympic team which won the bronze medal in the 1912 tournament; however, since he was a reserve player and did not play in a match, he was not given a medal.
He suffered with health problems and died at the age of 35.
