by Nancy Jemes Blogger

Holland is an attractive country to relocate and it is ranked as one of the best on the global quality of life index with a high employment rate, a very good health service, good public safety, and high life satisfaction levels. 


Moving to this country, also known as Netherlands can be highly rewarding for your career and especially for the quality of life. If you are moving to this destination, then there are a few things you must know and understand before hiring professional service providers for removals to Holland, as detailed below:

  1.  Moving Your Belonging to Holland
    If you’re moving to Holland then you’ll need to declare your belongings at customs but you can apply for an exemption from import duties if you’re moving to the Holland to live and work. The cost of moving to Holland depends on how you choose to move your belongings.

  2.  Immigration and Register After you Arrive
    EU or EFTA residents can enter Holland without requiring a visa and can remain in-country visa-free. If anyone from EU/EFTA is staying for longer than four months they will need to register and also obtain a citizen service number. Those from outside EU/EFTA moving to Holland will need to apply for a long-term entry visa and a residence permit to stay here for longer than three months. 

  3. Transit Times
    The transit time for your move to Holland depends on if you’re having a full house carried out as a dedicated move for you or as a part load. And a dedicated move can be scheduled accordingly. For a smaller load, a part or shared basis is a cost-effective service, where your household goods are moved safely on specific dates. 

  4.  Restricted Items Consideration
    There are some items that are to carry such as inflammable goods and substances, plants and plant material, offensive materials, dangerous goods, alcohol, firearms and ammunition, perishables, narcotics, and so. 

  5. Health Insurance and Social Security Benefits
    Both health insurance and social security payments are mandatory for all Dutch residents. Most foreign residents who move to the Holland are required to obtain public health insurance within four months of receiving their residence permit and the residents from EU/EFTA countries can use their European Health Insurance Card but they’ll need to switch to Dutch Health Insurance if staying for longer than a year.

  6. Opening a Bank Account
    Opening a bank account when you move to Holland is fairly straightforward. In Holland, most banks will have English-speaking staff and there is also a financial consultant that caters specially for expat clients. To open a bank account in Holland, you’ll usually need to have a valid ID, residence permit if applicable, your citizen service number and proof of address.

These are some important thing that you need to know before moving to Holland so that you can adapt in seamlessly and according to the rules and regulations. Follow the above tips to make your move easier when booking for removals to Holland.
