Are you travelling to, from, or via the Netherlands?
Check the website of the Dutch government for up-to-date information.
When arriving in the Netherlands, you may be asked to show the needed documents to airport staff or the designated (medical) authorities, such as the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee. If you cannot show these documents, you may be denied entry into the Netherlands.
Please check TravelDoc to see what applies to your trip. Be sure to check which type of vaccine is accepted and what the minimum time is between the date of your last injection and your date of arrival. In addition, check if your destination allows vaccines from the country in which you have been vaccinated.
Note: scanning the QR code is not yet possible at all airports. Please make sure to bring your vaccination certificate, negative test result, or recovery certificate with you on paper.
