Netherlands Blocks Nearly 500 Irregular Border Crossings in 2024
Netherlands Tightens Border Controls to Combat Irregular Migration
The Dutch authorities have reported preventing nearly 500 irregular entries into the Netherlands between January and October 2024. According to officials, these individuals attempted to enter the country irregularly. To address growing concerns about irregular migration and human trafficking, the Netherlands is taking additional measures.
Border Checks and Asylum Applications
The Dutch border police conducted over 115,000 checks at land borders during this period. Among those stopped, 628 individuals applied for asylum. While the Netherlands records fewer irregular entries compared to some other EU member states, the increasing numbers have prompted stricter action.
Internal Schengen Border Controls Starting December 9
To further tackle irregular migration, the Netherlands will introduce internal border controls with its neighbouring Schengen countries starting December 9, 2024. This measure, announced by the Minister of Migration, Marjolein Faber, will remain in effect for six months, until June 2025. The decision is part of broader efforts to address migration challenges and ensure border security.
Other Schengen Countries Strengthen Border Controls
The Netherlands is following the lead of other Schengen member states that have implemented or extended border checks:
- Germany: Introduced six-month land border controls in September 2024 with all neighbouring countries, requiring checks for all individuals entering via land.
- France: Reinstituted internal border checks due to concerns over irregular migration and terrorist threats.
- Austria: Extended border controls with Hungary and Slovenia until May 2025.
- Norway: Prolonged border controls until December 1, 2024.
Growing Regional Concerns
While irregular migration numbers in the Netherlands remain lower compared to countries at the EU's external borders, the rise in irregular entries and asylum applications has heightened vigilance. These measures reflect a wider trend among Schengen countries to tighten border security amidst increasing migration pressures and related concerns.
