Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Benelux ↗Dutch and Belgian police can ask anyone to show identification (in the Netherlands from age 14): carry the original passport or EU ID card — a photocopy is not accepted.
- Benelux ↗Tap-in fares, Dutch and Belgian domestic tickets and Luxembourg's free transport all stop at the border: buy an international ticket for cross-border legs, or you will be fined on board.
- Netherlands ↗The Netherlands is in the EU and the Schengen area; the EU Entry/Exit System applies to non-EU visitors. Check the official EU and Dutch sources for your passport.
- Netherlands ↗Red or marked bike lanes are for bikes: do not walk or stand in them, and look for cyclists before crossing.
- Netherlands ↗Amsterdam has local rules on public drinking, cannabis use in some areas and short-term rentals; check the city's current rules and book licensed accommodation.
- Netherlands ↗The Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum and Keukenhof sell timed tickets online only or mostly; book before you arrive rather than queueing.
Roermond sits where the Meuse and Rur meet, in Limburg, about 30 minutes by train from both Eindhoven and Maastricht. Two things pull visitors: a compact, car-free historic centre with a Gothic cathedral and Romanesque church, and the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet, one of the country's biggest shopping draws. The Maasplassen lake district around it is the largest water-sports area in the Netherlands. Most people come for a day of shopping and a walk, and one night is enough unless you are here for the water.

Arrive & move
Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in
Getting around
The old centre is car-free and small enough to cross on foot in 15 minutes. Roermond station is a 5–10 minute walk from the Markt; the Designer Outlet is about a 15-minute walk from the station, with shuttle buses between outlet, centre and car parks. Regional trains (Arriva) and intercities (NS) link Roermond with Eindhoven, Maastricht, Heerlen, Venlo, Utrecht and Amsterdam. Buses run from the station square to surrounding villages and the lakes.
