If your assignment in the Netherlands is over, you’re probably already thinking about your new destination. However, before you think about settling into a new country, you need to set your Dutch affairs in order.

Leaving the Netherlands is a bit more complicated than packing your bags and jumping on the next flight out.

These are a few of the things you will need to check off your list before leaving the Netherlands:

You have to give timely notice for the end of your rental contract (the exact period depends on the contact terms).

You need to cancel all your utilities and contracts: internet, mobile phone, gas, electricity, TV, and others.

Deregistering from the Personal Records Database (Basisregistratie Personen, BRP).

When you leave your Dutch apartment, you will have to follow very strict rules about the condition it has to be in. You will need local support to ensure that you don’t have to pay penalties and that you can get your security deposit back.

You will also have to terminate (or continue, if you choose to) your medical insurance and/or pension contributions. Our Departure Services consultants can help you make the right choice for each of these options, depending on your personal circumstances.

Leaving the Netherlands on a tight schedule? You don’t need to overpay your way out of the country or leave issues unsolved.

All the laws that are applicable to foreign workers in the Netherlands.

Dutch fluency to eliminate the need for expensive translators.
