Overview Relocation & Onboarding

We will book the appointment for you at the Dutch embassy as soon as we apply for your visa. You can go to the appoinment when the visa is approved. You need to hand in your passport and collect it within 10 days.

Information MVV - fingerprints, passport photo and signature

For registration at the municipality, you need documentation or evidence of events that have taken place abroad. This would be your unabridged birth certificate* in Dutch, English or German. This document need to be apostilled by DIRCO before they will be accepted in the Netherlands. The document may not be older than 6 months. 
 
Initially, there is no rush for these documents as you have 6 months to hand them in after you arrive in the Netherlands. They do however take some time to be processed in the country of origin so it would be good to start the process in the meantime. 

The registration appointment at the municipality also ensures that you will get your BSN! 

* A unabridged birth certificate also contains the details and nationality of your parents. That is why this version is required for your registration.


Birth Certificate 

For the application of the 30% ruling, we need at least 2 different documents of proof of 17 consecutive months that you have not been in a 150km radius of the Netherlands.

The following can be used as examples, please note these are not all of the documents are needed: 

•	17 months payslips
•	17 months bank statements
•	17 months rent payments 
•	17 months electricity/water bill
•	17 months of any contract

Your name & details with a date will be important on the documents. It is also very important that these documents run consecutively.

Registration

30% ruling

One of the advantages of the 30% ruling is that it not only provides a significant tax benefit, but also gives you the possibility to exchange your foreign driver’s license for a Dutch one without taking a driving test. 

However, it is important to make sure that your current driver’s license is still VALID at the time of application. If your license has expired, you may no longer be eligible for the exchange and could be required to complete the full Dutch driving exam process instead.

Driver's License 

Please make sure to sign the form by hand, a digital signature is not accepted! We can apply for 30% ruling as soon as you have received your BSN number.
