For travelers, this means:

• Travelers must have a negative test result before boarding a flight to the Netherlands.
• Test results may have been issued based on NAAT (PCR) testing or antigen testing within 48 hours of departure to the Netherlands.
• A check will be carried out upon arrival at Schiphol Airport.

The test certificate should contain the following information:

• Data that can identify who was tested and when
• Results of antigen test or NAAT (PCR) test;
• The conclusion, in Dutch or English, states that the person tested did not have COVID-19 at the time.
• The logo or characteristics of the institution or doctor where the test was performed.

Additionally, there is urgent advice to wear a medical mouth mask on flights to and from China. Travelers also receive a free self-test and information on its use at Schiphol Airport.

Travelers arriving at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport from China will also continue to be offered a free self-test and instructions on how to use it. These measures are being introduced well in advance of the Lunar New Year, when a peak in arrivals from China is expected.
