Immigrating to the Netherlands

If you're an American entrepreneur or indie developer looking to live in the Netherlands, you qualify for immigration under the Dutch American Friendship Treaty, aka DAFT.

• Need legal representation or advice? Contact Jeremy Bierbach at FranssenLaw: [email protected]. He specializes in helping expat Americans file the proper paperwork to immigrate under the DAFT.

If your citizenship is not with the EU, US, or Japan, your best bet for moving to the Netherlands is to get hired by a company.
