You may travel free of charge the first time you travel to the Netherlands from Ukraine. Your train ticket from another European country also counts as a valid ticket in the Netherlands.

In many European countries, your ID or passport is your ticket for the train or bus. Talk to a member of staff at the train station for the most up-to-date information.
