Do Spanish passport holders need a visa for the Netherlands?

How this tool works

We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.

No visa. Spanish citizens can enter the Netherlands with a DNI or a passport.

The Netherlands is an EU and Schengen member, so Spanish citizens need no visa and are not registered in the EES. The Spanish foreign ministry says: "Pasaporte o DNI en vigor tanto a la entrada como a la salida del país" and "Los ciudadanos españoles no necesitan visado para entrar en los Países Bajos."
