In the Netherlands, you can use a magnetic stripe card to refuel. That's what I used to circle the Netherlands.

I remember in the Netherlands you pump your own gas and then tell the cashier which pump you used, and you can pay in cash.

Pump your own gas in the Netherlands. After you fill up, go into the store and report your pump number. Cash or card is fine! No need for a chip credit card!

Seeking advice from experts. I am planning to visit the Netherlands from December to January. What kind of documents do I need to provide for a tourist visa application? How much proof of funds do I need to provide? Will having a VISA or MASTER gold card from the bank be helpful? And most importantly, I plan to take the IELTS test while I'm there. I'm not sure if the conditions allow it. I remember that for the IELTS, you just need to sign up with a passport. Thank you all ? Netherlands Q&A
