Health Declaration Form for Netherlands

The Netherlands Health Declaration Form is a mandatory document for any person aged 13 or over who wishes to enter or leave the Netherlands by air.

The Health Declaration Form or Passenger Locator Form (PLF) is a brief questionnaire, which provides the country's government with the essential health-related information about every person entering/leaving its territory.

The locator forms have been made obligatory because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, serving as one of the safety measures that help the Dutch Government in minimizing the spread of infections and keeping under control any possible Covid-19 cases.

Travelers must answer a few questions relating to their health state and provide their flight details and basic personal information to complete the Travel Public Health Form for the Netherlands. The form may be easily filled out online before the planned trip using any working device with an internet connection.

Information to provide in the health form

The Dutch health declaration form can be divided into three main parts. The first part of the form contains three yes or no questions.

Travelers must answer if they have had any Covid-19 symptoms or have been diagnosed with Covid-19 or pneumonia, whether or not they have been in contact with someone possibly infected (within the last 10 days), and check if they have experienced any of the following symptoms within the previous 24 hours:

The third and last part is simply the date and time of filling the Health Declaration for the Netherlands completed with the traveler's signature.

Who needs to fill the Netherlands Health Declaration Form?

Children or anyone who cannot fill the health form on their own should be included in their parents/guardians form.

The Netherlands Covid-19 regulations

The Netherlands, as many countries now, has introduced a variety of different rules and regulations applicable to anyone visiting or residing within the country.

Health Declarations

One of the recently introduced changes is the need for every air traveler to fill the Health Form before arrival. Filled forms will be checked when boarding one's flight, as well as upon arrival.

The Health Form is obligatory for any traveler aged 13 and over visiting the Netherlands via air. The form can be completed entirely online before the planned trip.

Quarantine and Covid-19 testing

Quarantine and Covid-19 testing rules depend on a few factors. The Netherlands has divided foreign countries into safe and high-risk destinations, which helps define the applicable entry rules.

Moreover, travelers should take into account that different rules may apply for travelers with completed vaccinations and those arriving from outside the EU/Schengen Area.

Quarantine

There is a 10-day quarantine rule for travelers arriving from very high-risk areas; however, that period can be shortened by taking a Covid-19 test on the 5th day of self-isolation. What's more, travelers who have been fully vaccinated can omit the quarantine requirement when arriving from a high-risk country since the 22nd of September.

Covid-19 testing

A negative Covid-19 test result or proof of vaccination is required for travelers arriving from outside the EU/Schengen Area that is considered to be a safe country upon departing.

Travelers who visit the Netherlands from within the EU/Schengen Area will only need a filled-out health declaration form (when going by air) if their country of departure is currently considered safe.

Coronavirus Entry Pass in the Netherlands

Starting from the 25th of September, anyone staying in the Netherlands must present a valid Coronavirus Entry Pass to:

• attend any commercial events
• go to the cinema
• eat at the restaurant (indoors)
• be a spectator of any sporting event
• go to the casino

A Coronavirus Entry Pass is a health certificate that assures the Dutch Government that the spread of Covid-19 cases will be kept under control.

The Coronavirus Entry Pass is granted to anyone who has either proof of full vaccination, a negative Covid-19 test result taken within 24 hours of entering the selected area, or proof of being recovered from Covid-19.
