Not for visitors AIUI. You need some kind of card only locals can get.

  I think everyone can get the card, though maybe you need a dutch address to sent it to.

    No, you need a dutch bank account to pay plus a dutch address to receive the card. That's not going to work for 99% of visitors.

      The "Dutch bank account" part is almost certainly illegal, by the way. Due to EU regulations they are required to accept any European bank account. It's called "IBAN discrimination", and the national central bank has a form[0] to let them known about it.

  Yes you need a card (ov-chipkaart or ov-pas) but you don't need to be a local to get one. You just order one online for 7.5/5 euros. You do need an address for it to be delivered to, but its valid for 5 years so if you visit the Netherlands again you can reuse it.

    Time, too - they print a card with your photo on it and it takes a couple weeks to show up.

      Usually days. I've had one take ~5 working days and another one ~3.
