Question:

MVV Sticker: I have collected my MVV already, however, the access conditions for people who want to travel to the Netherlands have been tightened. Is this restriction also applicable to me if I want to enter the Netherlands with an MVV?

(Last edited: Tuesday, 14 July 2020, 9:35 AM)
Answer:

From Thursday 19 March 2020 at 6 p.m., the access conditions for people who want to travel to the Netherlands have been tightened. This means that persons who do not fall under the exception categories will not enter the Netherlands and they will be refused entry. In principle, this measure applies for a period of 30 days. This measure does not apply to: 

  • holders of an MVV or Dutch residence permit, regardless of the purpose of residence; 
  • third-country nationals in possession of a residence permit from a Schengen or EU member state; 
  • holders of a residence permit as long-term resident.
