Expat services & Visa

The Expat Center provides support and advice to expats in the Netherlands. The center gives support on nearly every aspect of expat living, such as formalities, housing, living, culture, education, jobs, taxes, leisure, and other personal and social needs. The expat center regularly organizes events during which expats can meet other expats. These events can be purely social and can be workshops and conferences around a specific expat-theme.

In addition, if you are coming to the Netherlands you should always check if you need a visa and, if so, what type of visa. Visa requirements in the Netherlands vary depending on the individual’s nationality and the purpose of their visit. The visa application process typically involves providing documentation such as a valid passport, proof of accommodation and financial means, and possibly a letter of invitation from a Dutch sponsor or employer. For more information visit the official government website.
