Frequently asked questions
You must show a negative test result if you are travelling to the Netherlands from a (very) high corona risk country. This is because there is a risk that travellers arriving from these areas will import and spread coronavirus. The mandatory test results are not a substitute for other coronavirus measures, such as the entry ban, self-quarantining and vaccination.
Get tested at an official testing centre (such as a laboratory, doctor or health service) at your destination. Make sure the test meets the Dutch requirements.
There are requirements regarding the negative test result.
Some people continue to test positive after experiencing corona. Even if all the symptoms are gone and someone is no longer contagious. If you have experienced corona and therefore cannot present a negative NAAT test result, you can still travel if you can show the following documents:
- Positive NAAT test results of at least 2 and a maximum of 8 weeks old;
- Positive NAAT test results of up to 72 hours old on arrival in the Netherlands;
- Negative rapid test result before departure of up to 4 hours old when boarding.
In case of a permanent positive result on the rapid test, you can travel to the Netherlands if you can show the following:
- Positive NAAT test results of at least 2 and a maximum of 8 weeks old;
- Positive NAAT test results of up to 72 hours old on arrival in the Netherlands;
- Doctor's declaration that a traveller is no longer contagious of up to 72 hours old when boarding.
Stay in your accommodation and avoid contact with others. You should also contact your local municipal health service (GGD) in the Netherlands and follow the measures and advice of the health authorities at your destination. The other members of your household and/or your travelling companions may also need to go into quarantine. If you no longer have any symptoms and you test negative for coronavirus you may return to the Netherlands.
