Can I work in the Netherlands as an EU citizen?
Yes, you can. If you are from a European Union country, you do not need a work or residence permit to work in the Netherlands. You can move here freely and start working. But there are a few things you need to arrange:
- A valid passport or ID card
- Registration with the local municipality (we help with this)
- A BSN number (Dutch citizen service number – we help with this too)
- Health insurance (mandatory in the Netherlands)
Don’t worry. We guide you step by step. You don’t need to figure it out alone.
