What does an entry ban entail?
An entry ban in the Netherlands is a measure that regulates and restricts entry into the country for certain individuals. Such restrictions can be put in place for a variety of reasons. Consider the COVID-19 pandemic, when travel restrictions were put in place to limit the spread of the virus in the Netherlands.
An entry ban can also be imposed if you are in the Netherlands illegally, meaning you are here without proper documentation, such as a valid visa or residence permit. Moreover, your stipulated departure period must have expired before an entry ban takes effect.
Several government agencies in the Netherlands have the authority to impose an entry ban. These agencies include the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND), the Aliens Police, the Seaport Police and the Royal Military Police.
Entry ban lifting and conditions
If you want the entry ban to be lifted, there is the possibility of filing a "request for lifting". Please note, this can only be done in urgent situations. In this case, you write a letter to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) explaining why you believe the entry ban should be temporarily lifted.
To make this request, you must meet the following conditions.
- In case of entry ban lasting 2 years or less: you must have already resided outside the EU/EEA countries and Switzerland for at least half the duration of the entry ban.
- In case of entry ban lasting more than 2 years: the waiver must be necessary in your particular situation.
- Important: you must not have committed serious crimes while outside the Netherlands and no criminal proceedings must be pending against you at the time.
- Impact and objection law: it is very important to understand that these regulations may have significant consequences for persons who intend to travel, work or live in the Netherlands. You have the essential right to object to an entry ban if you, your partner or family member has been issued one.
Our specialized immigration law attorneys are ready to help you through this process and represent your interests so that you can take the right steps to address your situation.
Entry ban procedure
The procedure for imposing an entry ban in the Netherlands includes the following steps:
- IND announcement: the procedure begins with a notice from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) explaining in detail why it intends to impose an entry ban.
- Response time: upon receipt of this notice, you generally have four weeks to respond.
- Objection: If, despite your response and efforts, the IND still decides to impose the entry ban, you have the right to object to this decision. This gives you the opportunity to present your case again and further explain your arguments.
- Court proceedings: If your appeal to the IND is rejected, you have the option of taking further legal action by going to court. This is a formal legal procedure in which your case will be reviewed by the judiciary.
In short, the procedure for imposing an entry ban in the Netherlands is a complex and legally demanding process. It is highly recommended that you seek the assistance of an experienced attorney at any time during these proceedings to protect your interests and increase your chances of a positive outcome.
