How to go

VISA AND OTHER PROCEDURES

European Union citizens only need a valid citizen card but can also use a valid passport to enter the Netherlands. Citizens of other countries may need a Schengen visa to enter the Netherlands even if only for tourist purposes.

HEALTH CARE

No vaccines or boosters are noteworthy for visits to the Netherlands. For more information on travel health care in FitForTravel (In English).

Take your European Health Insurance Card with you so that you can enjoy healthcare at a reduced cost and with special conditions, in case you have any unexpected problems.

TRAVEL TO NETHERLANDS

A TAP has several daily direct flights from Lisbon and Porto to Amsterdam. If purchased well in advance and at strategic times, the round trip flight can cost you just over €100. Other companies with direct flights from Lisbon and/or Porto to Amsterdam are Easyjet, Transavia and Ryanair who fly from Lisbon and Porto to Eindhoven. The latter have, as a rule, lower prices but charge extra for luggage that is too bulky or too heavy than just the conventional hand-held bag.
