Passports, visas and insurance
See the information and advice in our travel advice for The Netherlands and check with your airline about your passport/ID requirements well before you travel.
If you are a British national you don’t need a visa to travel to The Netherlands.
Remember to bring your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) with you. This covers emergency treatment only and does not cover repatriation. does not cover all medical treatment or repatriation, So we recommend that you also take out travel insurance before coming to the Netherlands – even if you’re only going for one night – it could save you a lot of money if you get into difficulties.
Carry your passport securely at all times. You must be able to show some form of photo ID if requested. A photocopy is not acceptable. Keep a copy of your passport in a safe place separate from your real passport. If you lose your passport while in the Netherlands you will need to apply for an Emergency Travel Document online which costs £100.
