Important information concerning COVID-19 in the Netherlands:

  • Further easing of coronavirus measures

    In recent weeks, coronavirus infection rates have once again increased. However, the current variant is making people less ill and the number of people being admitted to intensive care is limited. So the government has decided to further ease the current measures. However, certain advice will remain in force. The government has not yet decided when next it will review the measures. It will continue to monitor the situation closely.

    More information can be found on the website of the Government of the Netherlands.

  • Validity coronavirus entry pass changed from February 8 2022

    Starting February 8th, the validity of the Dutch coronavirus entry pass (CTB) will, as far as possible, be aligned with the International Digital COVID Certificate (EU DCC), says Ernst Kuipers, Minister of Public Health, Welfare and Sport. The vaccination certificate is valid until 270 days after completion of full vaccination. This applies to everyone aged 18 and over. The recovery certificate is valid for up to 180 days after the positive test. The validity period for booster vaccination has not yet been determined. This applies to everyone.

  • Travel advisories for many countries to change colour

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will no longer issue travel advisories based solely on a country’s coronavirus situation. Instead it will once again take all security and health risks into consideration. This means that travel outside Europe will soon become easier. From 25 February, travellers arriving in the Netherlands will no longer be required to self-quarantine.
