At the end of the month teenage daughter is supposed to be going to Amsterdam, but it was with P & O ferries so who knows.

Don't know whether to get her the covid tests required. Currently she'd need PCR within 48 hours of departure or LF within 24. To add to this there is also supposed to be a change in rules from the  Dutch government  on 23rd March.

She's double jabbed as is her friend who is going, but their last jabs were last summer. 

Any help appreciated.

    Generally there is little benefit in getting the tests early as things change so much. Go for the cheapest, so an LFT 24 hours before - which isn't a problem. Depending on how she's getting there will dictate where to get this done.

    Holland requires not more than 270 days since the last jab, though there is no time limit on boosters.

    If it more than 270 days from their last covid vax then they will be subject to an entry ban unless eligible under an exemption.
