Not for a holiday though, only when you're planning on living here - which does makes sense.

I couldn't find an official source in English, so I'm just going off what I found here: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/forums/europe-western-europe/topics/dutch-aliens-police https://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/forums/europe-western... For tourists, it's something that's rarely enforced. And if you stay at a hotel they'll handle it for you (or presumably, maintain records in case the police have questions).

  I'm Dutch. Before 2014, there was a rule (in theory) that foreigners staying at a non-hotel for more than 3 days had to register. In practice, it was not used. In 2014, this rule was completely eliminated. (There's a registration requirement if you stay more than 90 days as a foreigner, but since visas and visa free access to NL is for maximum 90 days anyway, this rule applies to basically nobody.) Here's an official source, in Dutch - Google Translate will get the general point across: https://www.politie.nl/themas/kort-verblijf-vreemdelingen-2014.html https://www.politie.nl/themas/kort-verblijf-vreemdelingen-20...

  It doesn't, generally, exist. Here's something I found in Dutch: https://www.politie.nl/themas/kort-verblijf-vreemdelingen-2014.html https://www.politie.nl/themas/kort-verblijf-vreemdelingen-20... Machine translated, then lightly edited by me: > Short stay in the Netherlands > In anticipation of the amendment of the Vreemdelingenbesluit (Foreigners' Order), you no longer need to report to the vreemdelingenpolitie (foreigners' police) as a foreign national coming to the Netherlands for a maximum period of 90 days. There is one exception to this new rule. The Dutch representation abroad or the Koninklijke Marechaussee (Royal Military Police) may, in special cases, require you to report to the vreemdelingenpolitie in person within three days.
