Travelling from a high risk country (inside or outside EU/Schengen area)
i.e. any country not on the list of safe countries:

1. Travelling to the Netherlands as final destination

A. Offshore/Green Energy: this only includes passengers who are flying directly to NL from an (offshore) platform/wind farm. They only need to present a health declaration.

B. Seafarers (including cruise ship and ferry* crew members) who possess a seaman’s book if they are travelling in the exercise of their work or whose physical presence is required for work:
They are required to show either a negative NAAT or negative Antigen Rapid test no older than 24h before boarding the plane. They also need to present a health declaration.
* For Ferry Crew Members only: A negative NAAT test 72h prior to arrival in NL will also serve as a substitute for the rapid antigen test (taken 24h prior to boarding)

2. Transferring via Amsterdam (without leaving the airport)

Seafarers & Offshore/Green Energy passengers:
They need to present a negative NAAT test no older than 72H** before expected arrival in AMS
They need to present a negative NAAT test declaration (only if you are coming from a country outside the EU/Schengen area). Coronavirus: Negative test declaration form | Form | Government.nl
They also need to present a health declaration
** If you are delayed through no fault of your own, a negative test result based on a sample collected up to 96 hours before arrival (instead of 72h) will still be accepted. This gives you an extra 24 hours. You must be able to prove you had no fault in the delay.
