This is what you need to know about traveling abroad!

The measures surrounding the corona pandemic have been relaxed again, we can travel again soon! From 15 June it is again possible to go on holiday to other countries within the EU/Schengen zone and to the Caribbean part of the Kingdom. The travel advice for countries in those areas will be changed from orange (vacation travel not recommended) to yellow (vacation travel possible, watch out for risks).

The travel advice remains orange if a country does not yet have the corona virus under control sufficiently, does not yet welcome Dutch tourists or imposes quarantine on arrival.

These are the expectations for the travel advice:

  • As of June 15, the travel advice for the following countries will change from orange to yellow:Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Estonia, Italy, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Caribbean part of the Kingdom. So you can go on holiday to these countries, but be aware of the risks.
  • Staying orange for now:Denmark, the United Kingdom and Sweden. Holiday travel to these countries is not recommended.
  • A number of countries have yet to decide when they will lift the barriers for Dutch tourists again. These countries are expected to make a decision in the coming weeks. These are:France, Iceland, Austria, Spain, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Cyprus, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Malta, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia.

Please note: This is an estimate based on the information currently available. This information is regularly updated. Be alert, risks remain. The situation around the coronavirus could change at any moment. In the event of a new outbreak, countries can take strict measures, such as closing areas and closing borders. That can go very quickly. It is your own responsibility whether you want to take this risk.

If you are planning to travel, check the travel advice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Then you know whether you can travel to the country and what the situation is locally.
