Rules in force · 12Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…Red bike lanes look like pavement
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Benelux ↗Dutch and Belgian police can ask anyone to show identification (in the Netherlands from age 14): carry the original passport or EU ID card — a photocopy is not accepted.
- Benelux ↗Tap-in fares, Dutch and Belgian domestic tickets and Luxembourg's free transport all stop at the border: buy an international ticket for cross-border legs, or you will be fined on board.
- Netherlands ↗The Netherlands is in the EU and the Schengen area; the EU Entry/Exit System applies to non-EU visitors. Check the official EU and Dutch sources for your passport.
- Netherlands ↗Red or marked bike lanes are for bikes: do not walk or stand in them, and look for cyclists before crossing.
- Netherlands ↗Amsterdam has local rules on public drinking, cannabis use in some areas and short-term rentals; check the city's current rules and book licensed accommodation.
- Netherlands ↗The Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum and Keukenhof sell timed tickets online only or mostly; book before you arrive rather than queueing.
- Amsterdam and North Holland ↗Plan every leg by train, bus or tram with a contactless card; a car in Amsterdam costs more in parking than it saves.
- Amsterdam ↗Red bike lanes look like pavement: never stop or walk in them, and look both ways for bikes, scooters and trams at every crossing.
- Amsterdam ↗The Anne Frank House and the Rijksmuseum sell timed tickets; buy only on the official sites, and book weeks ahead for spring and summer.
- Amsterdam ↗Canal-house hotels have steep stairs and often no lift: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk, and ask about a lift before you book.
