The United Kingdom

As North Sea Neighbours, the Netherlands and the UK share a significant relationship spanning centuries of trade and investment, the exchange of ideas in academia, art and design, and close alliances in the defence of liberty.

Important changes for travellers from the UK to the Netherlands

As of 23 March 2022, travellers to the Netherlands coming from within the EU or the Schengen area will no longer require a test, proof of recovery or proof of vaccination. The rules will also be lifted for nationals of EU countries travelling to the Netherlands from countries outside the EU and the Schengen area. Non-EU nationals remain subject to an EU entry ban. Exemptions apply in several cases, however, such as for people who are vaccinated or who have recovered from coronavirus, and people travelling for certain purposes.
