Some of our Services
Dutch nationality investigation.
Find out if you are still Dutch, or if the Netherlands government is correct and how to proof they are wrong. Find out which routes and possibilities to get the nationality back are open to you. If needed, get additional help with gathering the right evidence. Your nationality / citizenship is important and you want to be absolutely sure where you are at. Don't let misinformation and mistakes (by officials) stop you.
Dutch Nationality by Naturalisation.
Do you want to become Dutch, a valued citizen of the Netherlands? Do you need help with ensuring you are best prepared for your application? Do you have a less than regular background, situation, or just want peace of mind? We will assess you and help you prepare for the best possible outcome.
Dutch Verification against EU Law.
Are you a non-EU family member of an EU citizen and want to move (together) to the Netherlands? Are you married, have a registered partnership, or another kind of (informal) relationship? Have you cohabited together for at least three to six months before your planned move? Or are you a sister, brother, parent, who is financially or health wise dependent on the EU family member? We can assist in ensuring you have the best chances of an approval. It is best to start thinking and preparing more than 6 months ahead (if possible)..
Former Dutch national immigration return to Netherlands to get Nationality back.
Did you lose your Dutch nationality/citizenship without wanting this, or worse without realising this? Do you want to return? Were you born and raised in the Netherlands, or abroad? How can you return? What is this special return visa for former Dutch nationals? How does it work? And if I still don't qualify, what are the alternative routes back to the Netherlands, or getting my nationality back? These are complex matters and there is a myriad of possibilities and challenges. Talk to us to find out what can work for you. Let us help you prepare.
Netherlands Administration on Arrival.
Need help moving to the Netherlands? Find a home, flat, apartment, or even a room to rent. Want to buy a property? How to register yourself with the relevant authorities? How to move your household belongings from outside or inside the EU? What else needs to be done? We can assist you with answers to practical help organising your move.
Retrospective return of Dutch nationality, Tjebbes verdict / proportionality test (cheapest route).
Lost it, and want to become Dutch again? What is this court ruling about? Do I need to go to court to get my nationality back? Why does this look so easy? Why am I still being denied? Can I appeal the decision? How should I best prepare for this? Most applicants are denied because they relate to their Dutch bonds and evidence rather than the required EU bonds and evidence. Let us help you with answers and prepare you for a successful outcome.
