14 December 2020: the information on this website will shortly be updated on the basis of the most recent information of the prime minister.  From 18.00 on 15 December 2020, some travellers will be required to produce a negative COVID-19 test result on arrival in the Netherlands. Passengers who arrive by air or sea from a country outside the EU/Schengen area that is not on the EU ‘safe countries of origin’ list and who are exempt from the EU travel ban must be able to produce a negative COVID-19 test result and a signed declaration. This is one of the measures being taken by the Netherlands to combat the importation and spread of coronavirus. At this time the negative-test requirement does not apply to Dutch nationals and EU/Schengen citizens and their family members travelling or returning from outside the EU/Schengen area.
