Recommendations on arrival at Amsterdam Airport

1. Collect your belongings from the plane

   Don't forget coats, devices, small backpacks, or documents you may have stored in the seat pocket or overhead compartment.

2. Checked baggage

   Head to the assigned carousel shown on the screens. Sometimes several flights share the same one. If your suitcase doesn't appear after 30 minutes, contact your airline. See airlines at Schiphol Airport.

3. Immigration control

   If you are arriving from outside the Schengen area, you will need to go through immigration. Present:

   • Valid passport
   • Visa (if applicable)
   • Proof of reservation, accommodation address, contact phone number

   There are manual booths and eGates (for electronic passports). Some nationalities must use the manual booths.

4. Connecting Flights

   If you have a connection at Schiphol, follow the yellow "Transfer/Connections" signs. If your connection is outside Schengen, you will need to go through another passport control. There are rest areas, showers, and 24-hour food options in the transit area.

5. Arrivals Hall

   Once you pass immigration and collect your baggage, you will enter the Arrivals Hall. If you have arranged a transfer or private driver, look for a sign with your name. If you prefer public transport, follow the signs to the train station or bus area. Here are the steps to follow if you are renting a car.

   Other options when exiting:

   • Taxis: Exit the terminal and go to the official taxi ranks. Avoid informal offers in the Hall.
