Travelling with a Residence Permit

When travelling outside of the Netherlands be sure to check the required documents. You need a valid residence permit, passport and possibly a visa. Travels within the Schengen area do not require a visa if you have a Dutch residency permit card.

To be able to travel back to the Netherlands you need to show that you have a valid residence permit. If you need a visa before you leave, you must apply for it at the embassy or consulate of the country you want to visit.

Return visa

When you are going on a trip abroad, but your residence permit is temporarily no longer valid or your residence permit expires during your trip, you will need a return visa to travel back to the Netherlands. With the return visa, you show that you are allowed to be in the Netherlands. Find out more about the return visa here.

List of Travellers for school trips

The List of Travellers is a visa replacement document for pupils (all school years) that are going to make a school trip within the EU. The List of Travellers is meant for pupils from outside the EU/EEA or Switzerland with a nationality who require a visa for travel. With the List of Travellers they are allowed to travel without a visa. They do have to meet any national entry requirements of the country they will visit with the school trip. The List of Travellers also replaces the passport if a pupil does not have one.
