Does anyone know if a covid test is required for transit through Schiphol. I've read it both ways.
Thanks for your help.

Things are of course subject to change but today I found:
"If you transfer/transit in the Netherlands you do not need to show a negative COVID-19 test result, proof of vaccination or proof of recovery on arrival in the Netherlands. Please note: this exemption only applies if you change planes and continue your journey within a few hours, and in any case within 1 day without leaving the airport where you transfer. You do need a negative COVID-19 test if you continue your journey with any other mode of transportation."

We transited AMS to France on Christmas Eve and were not asked for a negative test result at any time.

Thank you!
I received an email from Delta that said
"The Netherlands requires all passengers aged 12 and older departing from the U.S. to be fully vaccinated unless otherwise exempt. All travelers, including those who are connecting to another flight (transiting), must also present a negative COVID-19 test result; either a NAAT (PCR) test taken within 48 hours before departure, or an antigen test taken within 24 hours before departure."
However, i received another email that i overlooked the next day that said
"You may have received an email from us that said passengers who are transiting through Amsterdam (AMS) to another destination must present a negative COVID-19 test. A negative COVID-19 test is not required for transiting passengers who do not leave the airport and whose connection time is within 1 day. "
