About Expat Holland
The fastest way to get settled in the Netherlands.
Who is Expat Holland?
Moving to a new country is incredibly exciting, but the administrative burden can be overwhelming. Expat Holland is an independent platform designed to guide expats through their first months in the Netherlands. We provide a clear, step-by-step onboarding flow and compare essential services so you can start your new life without the stress.
Independent & Objective
We are an independent, private organization. We are not affiliated with the Dutch government, any municipality, or the IND.Our primary goal is to empower you with correct, practical information so you can make informed decisions. When we recommend a service provider, we do so because we believe they offer the best value and English-language support for expats, not because we are owned by them.
How we verify our information
Dutch laws and regulations change frequently. To ensure our guides remain accurate, we:
- Only use official government sources (such as the Rijksoverheid, IND, and SVB) as our factual baseline.
- Link directly to those official sources at the bottom of our guides so you can always verify the information yourself.
- Regularly audit our guides and checklists to reflect the latest legal requirements.
Affiliate Transparency
Expat Holland is completely free to use. To keep the platform running and our information up-to-date, we operate as an affiliate onboarding platform.
This means that if you click on a link to a service provider (like a health insurance company or a bank) and sign up for an account, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This commercial partnership never influences our guides or the factual accuracy of our onboarding checklist.
