The entry restrictions and measures of countries around the world are constantly changing. Airlines and airport authorities also adjust their policies as a result. If you are going on a trip, it is therefore important that you are well prepared. We are happy to help you book your complete trips and provide information, however, we also depend on information from airlines and The Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We therefore advise you to check which requirements you must meet up to the day of departure and to read the most recent information; as a traveller you are responsible for this yourself.

• On Netherlandsworldwide.nl of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs you will find the most recent information about travel and travel advice.
• The Travel App of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs always provides you with the most current travel information, even during your trip.
• On KLM’s Travel Doc page, you will find all the regulations and measures you need to take into account for each destination. You enter your place of departure and arrival (this does not have to be a KLM flight) and get all the necessary information for that destination.
• An international page with up-to-date information on all countries around the world is IATA Travel Centre.

Airlines each deal with the rules and regulations surrounding Covid-19 independently and they change regularly. Some foreign airlines offer a free rapid test at the airport of departure, others require you to wear a medical face mask on board their flights. Therefore, please check the website of the relevant airline for the most recent information. Please also enquire about the rules that apply at the destination airport, via the website of the airport concerned.

Different rules often apply to seamen and offshore personnel. They are sometimes exempted from requirements and measures. Our Marine travel consultants can provide you with the latest information.

Health Declaration
Every traveller over the age of twelve years who flies to and from the Netherlands is required to carry a health declaration. Without this information, you may be refused at boarding. You can download the Health declaration form here. With some airlines, such as KLM, you may complete the form when you check–in online, from 24 hours before departure.

Negative Covid test result
On the website Netherlandsworldwide.nl you can read if you are required to provide a negative Covid test result to be able to travel to your destination. GGDs do not test in the context of travel.
