And of course you can always walk over to another immigration checkpoint when queues are long. In my experience, queues have recently been relatively long at the D pier immigration. If you find yourself in a long line there, just walk over to E where most of the time you will be almost alone.
I have been to 64 countries, and longest waiting times for immigration for me have been the USA and Taiwan. (both longer than one hour)
^ ^ I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes to clear immigration at AMS, even at pier D (>300 incoming flights over the last 8 years). AMS is IMHO one of the top 3 airports on the planet. Privium is a "nice to have" but not essential (sorry
Johan!)
