Traveling to the United Kingdom? Travelers visiting the United Kingdom are now required to apply for a UK ETA for stays up to 6 months.
The European Travel Information and Authorization System, (ETIAS), will replace the current visa-free travel system in the Schengen region. It will be available starting in 2025. British tourists will find it easier to travel to the Netherlands with the new visa system. Britons travelling from the UK will also be eligible for this visa.

Welcome to Europe
British travellers, along with those from other countries exempted by visas, will need to submit an electronic ETIAS application before they can travel into any Schengen country. The United States, Australia and New Zealand will be affected by this new border policy. This complete list contains 60 countries whose citizens must submit ETIAS requests in order to travel to Netherlands.
Britons need to apply for ETIAS approval to travel to or through any 26 Schengen countries(plus Vatican City, Cyprus, Croatia, San Marino, Bulgaria, and Romania). ETIAS approval does not apply to travellers who are visiting certain European countries that are not part of the Schengen region, such as Ireland. This is the complete list of ETIAS countries who require ETIAS from foreign travellers.

ETIAS will become mandatory for British citizens travelling to Europe after 2025. The new ETIAS visa waiver program will replace all existing short-term travel regulations that apply to visa-exempt countries in 2025. The new process will be re-opened to international travellers and border officers. This grace period is for six months. The best time to submit the application is when the ETIAS program launches, in 2025. Your application will be processed within 96 hours (4 working days), and should be completed weeks before you leave.
ETIAS is an easy travel system. The online application for UK citizens takes less than 10 minutes. You will need to include basic information about yourself and a list of security questions.
At the moment, travellers to the Netherlands do not require a passport or COVID certificate. There will be changes to policies and procedures in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. We recommend you read the most recent travel regulations before you depart.
If you have any questions about your stay in the Netherlands, the British Consulate can assist you. Many consulates are located in the Netherlands, particularly in Amsterdam and the Hague. The British Embassy is also located in The Hague.
