Netherlands travel tips

Netherlands travel health

Required is not recommended: the first is what the border asks about, the second is what a clinic would suggest. Both, for Netherlands, then the number to dial and what care costs a visitor. Applies to every guide in Netherlands: Amsterdam.

Care for visitors

Excellent and cheap

EU/EEA and Swiss visitors are treated on the same terms as residents with an EHIC or GHIC card; UK visitors use a GHIC. Everyone else pays, and travel insurance is worth having for the repatriation cover rather than the treatment. A huisarts (GP) is the first stop for anything not life-threatening; walk-in A&E without a referral is discouraged.

The general rules — clinic timing, water, mosquitoes, insurance — are in travel health tips.
