Mr. Icke rose to notoriety in the 1990s by advocating fringe beliefs and gaining a new audience with the Covid epidemic.
He erroneously claimed that 5G mobile phone networks propagated the malware and that a Jewish outfit was responsible.
On Sunday, Mr. Icke was scheduled to speak to demonstrators in Amsterdam who were critical of the government’s Covid-19 reaction.
Mr. Icke’s two-year travel restriction was initially published on his website, where he stated that the Dutch authorities issued him a letter warning him that his presence in the nation may generate tensions between different groups and disrupt public order.
Mr. Icke claims the restriction applies to the EU’s visa-free Schengen zone, which means he is also barred from entering 25 additional nations.
The Dutch Ministry of Justice confirmed the ban to local media, using a leaked letter, but made no more comment.
Last month, the mayor, police, and prosecutor’s office of Amsterdam ordered rally organizers to exclude Mr. Icke due to his “anti-Semitic and harmful utterances.”
The event will still take place, with counter-demonstrations planned.
Mr. Icke, a former footballer, and sports presenter, was banned from Facebook and Twitter in 2020 after his accounts broke Covid-19 misleading guidelines.
