Permits, finance & insurance
Moving to another country always involves a lot of administration. The main thing is to sort out the right legal papers, such as work and residence permits. These procedures are not always easy.
Utilities & communication
All houses in the Netherlands have access to means of communication and utilities such as electricity, drinking water, landline phones, mobile phone coverage, high-speed internet, mail, gas supply (for cooking and heating), drainage and cable TV.
The Dutch health care system
The “huisarts” is your family doctor. He treats common health problems himself first, and - if necessary - acts as your gateway to physiotherapists, psychologists, different specialist physicians in hospitals and all other medical services. The same can be said about choosing your dentist.
Learning Dutch
Fortunately the Dutch often speak English and German quite well, but if you decide to come and live here, it is always wise to learn the language.
Meeting people
The Dutch are hospitable and open. You will soon find yourself chatting to people at the bus stop or in a café. But they will not easily invite a stranger into their homes. So where do you meet the Dutch?
