GENERAL INFORMATION ON NETHERLANDS - for guidance only!
Crime
Amsterdam is a busy city and you should exercise caution particularly in central Amsterdam (especially Central Station). As in many large cities, pick-pocketing is commonplace. Pickpockets often operate in gangs (usually on the trams, especially numbers 2 and 5): while one distracts you, another picks your pocket. Opportunist thieves are also widespread so ensure you keep your valuables safely with you at all times and do not leave them unattended or hanging on the back of a chair.
There have been several incidents of bag snatching on the trains that operate through Schiphol Airport. The methods used by the thieves are similar to those referred to above. In particular newly arrived and heavily laden passengers are a target for thieves. Be alert at all times. Do not lose sight of your baggage or your belongings.
In May, a prominent Dutch Estate Agent was shot and killed on Apollolaan in the Oud Zuid/Niew Zuid area of Amsterdam - an affluent area where many British and European expatriates live and/or work - at about 11:30am (during daylight hours). Although the shooting was linked to organised crime, it underlines the need for vigilance.
Travellers should avoid carrying valuables and large sums of money on their person, but it is important to carry copies of identification details. In the event of theft, contact the nearest police station and obtain a police report. If your passport is stolen a police report is accepted by some carriers in lieu of a passport. A police report is required as part of the application for a replacement passport.
Don’t carry drugs. The Netherlands has a reputation for being tolerant on the use of so-called ‘soft drugs’. In reality this exists only for designated premises in the major cities; possession of prohibited substances carries a prison sentence.
Road Travel
Traffic rules in the Netherlands are very similar to those of other countries in continental Europe. Roads are good and well sign posted, but are overcrowded. Long traffic jams can be expected on motorways, particularly near the major cities. Traffic offences can carry heavy, often on-the-spot fines. Using a mobile phone whilst driving is illegal and carries a heavy fine, and drivers are encouraged to use "hands free" equipment. If you are fined, always ask for a receipt.
The Dutch drive on the right and give priority to the right, unless otherwise indicated. They drive "assertively" and do not practice road courtesy. Be particularly careful when using roundabouts: on some you have the right of way when on them but on others right of way must be given to vehicles entering.
Be extra vigilant for trams; they have priority over other traffic and are well known to exercise that right. If a tram or a bus stops in the middle of the road to allow passengers on and off, you must stop.
Speed cameras, speed traps and unmarked vehicles are widely used to monitor speeding; exceeding the maximum speed limit can incur heavy penalties including substantial fines. Be vigilant on motorways where the maximum speed can vary. Overhead illuminated lane indicators - when in use - are mandatory. Never exceed the indicated speed limit where road works are taking place.
Most cities have a policy of reducing non-essential traffic flows within their boundaries. Narrowing roads, obstacles, traffic lights and speed cameras are often in place to achieve this. Paid parking is the norm. It is expensive and there are insufficient parking spaces to meet demand. Clamping and towing vehicles away are commonplace and the fines are high.
Motorists must use dipped lights after dark and in misty conditions. If safety belts are fitted, they must be used. A warning triangle must be carried and, in the event of a breakdown, placed 30 metres behind the vehicles.
Pedestrians should be extremely careful when crossing roads, especially on zebra crossings. Look out for cycles and mopeds, which enjoy right of way over motor vehicles and often ignore road traffic rules. Dedicated cycle tracks are common but can also be used by invalid vehicles and mopeds, which often reach high speeds.
Amsterdam Canals
Several deaths (of all nationalities) occur each year due to drowning in the canals of Amsterdam. The majority of these happen as a result of celebrations that include drinking heavily and/or smoking cannabis. Particular care should be taken when travelling beside canals.
LOCAL LAWS AND CUSTOMS
The Dutch Government has introduced compulsory identification from 1 January 2005. Everybody from the age of 14 is required to be able to show a valid identity document to police officers and other law enforcement authorities on their request. Valid passports, valid Dutch or EU/EEA driving licenses, Dutch residence permits (including those for EU/EEA citizens) are considered as such.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Holders of British passports, describing them as "British Citizens", do not require visas to enter The Netherlands. The passport should be valid for at least six months.
Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country. For further information on exactly what will be required at immigration please contact the Netherlands Embassy in London: http://www.netherlands-embassy.org.uk/.
HEALTH
We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling.
You should take with you a completed E111 form, which should be completed before you leave the United Kingdom (see UK Department of Health leaflet "Health Advice for Travellers" tel: 0800 555 7777). This is available free of charge from most United Kingdom post offices.. It entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Dutch nationals. You should also take out adequate medical and travel insurance.
