What Netherlands may ask for

Not every traveller is asked for all of these. A valid passport is checked every time; the rest is a spot check at the border, and some items belong to a visa application rather than the crossing itself.

  • Biometric photo: 35x45mm, white background, recent within 6 months
  • Travel insurance covering minimum 30,000 EUR medical expenses
  • Confirmed hotel reservations or host invitation letter

    Entry requirements for traveling with pets (dogs and cats)

    Travelers should check with their airline for pet transport requirements before traveling, as policies differ. Dogs and cats traveling into the EU from outside the EU must meet entry requirements that vary by country of origin. Pets must be microchipped and vaccinated against rabies. Additional requirements may apply depending on where travel originates. Travelers can check the specific requirements for their country of origin on the EU government's pet travel page. Travelers bringing other animals should check the national rules of their destination country directly.
