The decision to emigrate to Holland is attractive for many Germans. The Netherlands offers a strong economy and a high happiness index, making it a popular destination for expats. At GoMovin, we understand that this step requires careful consideration. That's why we provide comprehensive advice to make your move as smooth as possible. We support you every step of the way, from the initial planning to successful integration.
A significant advantage is the EU freedom of movement, which allows Germans to live and work in the Netherlands without a visa. After entry, only registration is required, which greatly facilitates starting out. The cultural proximity and the liberal, open-minded mentality of the Dutch further enhance the country's appeal. The high quality of life and balanced work-life balance are additional positives that many emigrants appreciate. Information on planning and preparing your move can be found on the Swiss Confederation website.
The flexible job market in the Netherlands offers varied employment opportunities, particularly in sectors like finance, sales, IT, hospitality, construction, healthcare, and education. However, it is advisable to prepare for higher living costs and prices for luxury goods. Nevertheless, lower taxes compared to Germany can result in a higher net income. GoMovin helps you navigate these aspects and make the best decisions for your future. More information on living conditions in the Netherlands is available from Germans Abroad.
Moving to the Netherlands: Language skills and financial planning are crucial
Careful preparation is essential for a successful move to the Netherlands. Even though many Dutch people speak German or English, it is advisable to learn Dutch. This facilitates integration and opens up additional opportunities in the job market and social life. GoMovin supports you in finding language courses and improving your language skills.
Financial planning should also not be neglected. Consider the high housing costs, especially in major cities, as well as the mandatory health insurance (Zorgverzekering). It is advisable to inform yourself early about the various insurance options and to create a budget. We help you plan the financial aspects of your move and avoid unexpected costs. Information on registering and deregistering in the Netherlands can be found at Gothaer.
Job searching should ideally begin before the move. Use job portals and temporary employment agencies to find suitable job offers. Especially in demand are professionals in finance, sales, IT, hospitality, construction, healthcare, and education. Make sure to adapt your application documents to Dutch customs. We support you in your job search and help you to position yourself successfully in the Dutch job market. We also offer internal information on job searching.
BSN and Health Insurance: How to Master the Bureaucracy
Upon your arrival in the Netherlands, there are several legal and bureaucratic steps required. First, you must register at the local municipality (Einwohnermeldeamt) if you plan to stay in the country for more than four months. During this process, you will also apply for a citizen service number (BSN), which is essential for tax and administrative purposes. GoMovin assists you with these visits to the authorities and ensures that you submit all the necessary documents in time. Additional information on registration can be found on Umziehen.de.
Another important point is health insurance. In the Netherlands, mandatory health insurance (Zorgverzekering) is required. You can choose between different providers and, if necessary, take out additional insurance (aanvullende verzekeringen), for example, for dental treatments. We help you find suitable health insurance and handle all the formalities. Information on health insurance is also available on Auslandslust.
For your taxes and social security, you need a SOFI number, which you can apply for at the tax office. Foreign specialists may benefit from the 30% ruling, where only 70% of the income is taxed. We are happy to advise you on these topics and help you optimize your tax burden. Our services in visiting authorities make your start easier.
Apartment Hunting in the Netherlands: Challenges and Solutions
The apartment search in the Netherlands, especially in large cities like Amsterdam and The Hague, can be a challenge. Rental prices are high, and demand is significant. It is advisable to start your search early and consider various options. GoMovin supports you in finding accommodations and helps you discover suitable offers. For information on living conditions in the Netherlands, please refer to the Austrian Foreign Ministry.
One option is social housing (sozial housing), but you should expect long waiting times. Alternatively, you can seek support from your employer or consider temporary renting during the probation period. We help you make connections and find the best options for your individual situation. Moving within the EU can also bring some advantages.
The home ownership rate in the Netherlands is high. If you are planning long-term, buying a property can be an interesting option. However, bear in mind that you will also need a building insurance (Gebäudeversicherung), which may be covered by the owners' association. We are happy to advise you on the pros and cons of buying a house and help you make the right decision.
Arbeiten in Holland: Salary, Job Search and Pension System
The working conditions in the Netherlands are often more flexible than in Germany. Gross salaries might be lower, but due to lower taxes, net income can be higher. Additionally, holiday pay (one month's salary) is legally mandated. GoMovin provides information on current salary standards and helps you optimise your salary potential.
When job hunting, it is essential to write short and concise emails and cover letters that detail your tasks and responsibilities. Networking and socialising with colleagues, such as during a 'Friday borrel', are also advantageous. We assist you in preparing your application documents and preparing for interviews. Information about job opportunities is available at Auslandslust.
The Dutch pension system consists of a state basic pension, occupational pensions, and private pensions. It is advisable to inform yourself about the various options early and to take out private pension insurance to ensure financial security in retirement. We are happy to advise you on the different pension models and help you develop the right retirement strategy.
Family Life in Holland: Education System, Child Benefits and Healthcare
If you are emigrating to the Netherlands with children, there are certain particularities to consider. The Dutch school system is structured differently from the German one (basisschool, voortgezet onderwijs with VMBO, HAVO, VWO). Homeschooling is heavily regulated. GoMovin supports you in choosing the right school and helps you navigate the Dutch education system. Information about emigrating with children can be found on Wohnsitz Ausland.
Families in the Netherlands receive child benefit (Kinderbijslag) and, under certain conditions, an income-dependent child allowance (kindgebonden budget). It is important to find out about the requirements and application procedures early on. We help you submit all necessary applications and assert your entitlements.
The healthcare for children under 18 is generally free. However, there are exceptions for students, pensioners and cross-border commuters with German health insurance. We are happy to advise you on the various options and help you ensure the best healthcare for your family.
Integration in Holland: Language skills, openness, and everyday culture
Successful integration into Dutch society is crucial for your well-being. Learning the Dutch language is an important step, even if you can initially communicate in German or English. GoMovin supports you in finding language courses and helps you improve your language skills.
The openness and liberalism of the Dutch make integration easier. People are tolerant and open-minded towards new things. However, it is important to respect cultural differences and adapt to the country's customs. We help you better understand Dutch culture and avoid pitfalls.
Cycling is an important part of daily life in the Netherlands. Take the opportunity to explore the country by bike and actively engage in Dutch culture. We provide tips for excursions and help you navigate the Dutch cycling culture. Our information about living in German-speaking countries abroad can also assist you.
Insurance in Holland: Health, Auto, and Liability Insurance
In the Netherlands, there are various insurances you should take out to protect yourself from financial risks. The health insurance (Zorgverzekering) is mandatory and provides a basic cover with optional additional packages. It is important to compare different offers and find the insurance that suits your needs. GoMovin supports you in choosing the right insurance and helps you complete all the formalities. You can also find information about insurance on our website.
If you own a car, a car insurance (WA-verzekering) is legally required. This liability insurance covers damage you cause to others. There are also comprehensive insurances that cover damage to your own vehicle. We are pleased to advise you on the various car insurances and help you find the best option for your situation.
Other important insurances include property insurance, liability insurance, and legal insurance. The conditions of these insurances may differ from the German standards. It is advisable to inform yourself early about the various options and ensure comprehensive protection. We help you find the right insurances and complete all the formalities.
