Citizens from the rest of the European Union, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand only need a valid passport for a stay up to three months. But you do need a passport valid for at least three months after your arrival, a return ticket and enough money for your stay in The Netherlands.

Citizens of other countries should obtain in advance a tourist visa through the Dutch embassy in your country (www.nfa.nl/en). Before you plan your trip to Holland, consult the "residency wizzard" by using the link at the left site, that will walk you through all the info.

Everybody from the age of 14 is required to show a valid identity document to law enforcement officers on request.
