Healthcare Costs in Netherlands
Healthcare in the Netherlands is among the most expensive in Europe for non-residents. An ER visit in Amsterdam can cost €2,000–€5,000 without insurance.
What happens without insurance?
As a Schengen visa holder in Netherlands, you are not entitled to public healthcare. Every medical interaction — from a GP visit to emergency surgery — is billed to you directly at private rates. One serious incident can result in bills that dwarf the cost of your entire trip. Travel insurance transfers that risk for as little as $8/week.
