Entry Requirements and Visa for the Netherlands

People

For travel with a tourist purpose.

For French Citizens

A valid passport or national identity card is sufficient. That said, the Netherlands is part of the Schengen Area and is therefore theoretically border-control-free when arriving from another member country.

Other Nationalities

The same applies to Canadians (stay of less than 3 months), Swiss nationals, European Union citizens, and a few other nationalities. For other visitors, a Schengen visa valid for the 26 member states is required for a tourist stay of less than 3 months.

Long Stay

In Case of Offense

Vehicles

No special requirements for vehicles already circulating within the Schengen Area.
