여기는 어떤 곳인가
Health insurance is compulsory and universal, the price is knowable in advance, and the country is safe, flat and legible. What the Netherlands does not have is a way in for someone arriving with savings and no job: the IND’s list of residence purposes runs through work, study, business or family, and the economically inactive route is only open to people who already hold long-term resident status in another EU state.
절차는 이렇습니다
Find the residence purpose that fits
There is no general self-sufficiency route; the application has to name a purpose the IND recognises.
Register and get a BSN
Municipal registration produces the citizen service number, without which no bank or insurer will act.
Take out health insurance within four months
It is a legal obligation, not a choice, and late enrolment is fined.
