I’m travelling abroad. Do I need a visa?
Are you planning on travelling abroad? If you are travelling on a Dutch passport, check whether you need a visa in the travel advice for your destination.
Check the travel advice
Whether you need a visa depends on a number of things, including:
- the country you are travelling to
- how long you are staying
- your purpose of travel (holiday, family visit or business trip)
Read the travel advice for the country you are travelling to and check the section on passports, visas and driving licences (‘Paspoort, visum, rijbewijs’) to see whether you need a visa.
Travelling on a non-Dutch passport
If you are travelling on a non-Dutch passport, other rules may apply. Contact the embassy of the country you wish to travel to in the Netherlands to ask whether you require a visa.
