Following the daily updates we are sending out to our clients centrally, we thought to publish this update on our local Dutch website too. With all the changes societies are going through in an attempt to stay on top of the situation, it can become quite unclear where we stand with what is allowed and what is not. Here’s an update of today’s situation.

    LOCAL UPDATES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From 1 July on, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) will no longer publish a daily update on the\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b increase in the number of people who tested positive; the number of hospital admissions (of patients with COVID-19); the number of people who died as a result of the novel coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From July 7th<\/sup> onwards, the RIVM is switching to a weekly update<\/a> containing more information. The data on the coronavirus Dashboard<\/a> (only in Dutch) provided by the Dutch national government will be updated daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NL is following the European Member States agreement on gradual and partial lifting of the EU travel ban.\u00a0Please visit www.netherlandsandyou.nl<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From July 1 onwards, the Netherlands starts\u00a0lifting the travel restrictions\u00a0for residents of the following third countries: Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, Uruguay and China*(*The condition of reciprocity explicitly applies to China: the EU will only open to China if China opens to EU citizens)<\/em>. Resident<\/u>s<\/em>\u00a0of these countries can regain access to Europe (all EU and Schengen Member States and the UK), regardless of the purpose of travel.\u00a0Member States ultimately determine how they implement the lifting of the travel ban for listed countries. It is therefore important that visa applicants inform themselves about the possibilities to travel within the Schengen area before traveling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
