The Netherlands shares with the rest of Europe a threat from terrorism. The Dutch National Coordinator for Counterterrorism maintains a national terrorism threat level for the Netherlands.
New Zealanders in the Netherlands are advised to remain alert, pay attention to personal security and monitor the media and other local information sources for potential risks to safety and security.
Several incidents over the last year have demonstrated that large gatherings and demonstrations in the Netherlands have the potential to turn unruly and violent without notice. New Zealanders are advised to avoid all protests, demonstrations and rallies.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in the Netherlands should have comprehensive medical and travel insurance policies in place.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in the Netherlands are encouraged to register their details with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
