Covid travel rules: Netherlands update entry requirements for UK visitors

The Netherlands have eased entry requirements for UK visitors just in time for the Easter holidays.

From tomorrow, (Wednesday), those arriving in the Netherlands will no longer have to show a pre-departure Covid test, regardless of vaccination status.

This comes as the mandatory quarantine requirement has been lifted for UK travellers.

Amsterdam is a popular short city break for Brits and these changes are expected to boost the travel and tourism industry.

In an update from the Foreign Office travel advice, they explain: "Until 23 March, fully vaccinated travellers aged 12 and over arriving in the Netherlands from the UK via aeroplane, ferry, passenger car, train or bus must show one of the following:

A negative PCR test result (taken no more than 48 hours before departure), or a negative antigen test result (taken no more than 24 hours before departure)".

All travellers are advised to take a self-test after arriving in the Netherlands – this is not an obligation and is therefore not enforced.

Face masks will also no longer need to be worn on public transport, taxis, coaches and ferries from March 23.

And anyone wishing to go to nightclubs or large events will not have to prove a negative Covid test.
