The Netherlands

The Netherlands is the largest part of our practice and the reason most people find us. Everything we do here falls into three families. If you are not sure which one your question belongs to, that is the usual starting point rather than a gap in your preparation — tell us your situation and we will tell you which door you are standing at.

Nationality

Getting Dutch nationality, getting it back, and being able to prove you have it.

  • Naturalisation
  • Retrospective return after the Tjebbes judgment
  • Former Dutch nationals returning to the Netherlands
  • Nationality investigations and statements
  • Passport, identity card or certificate of Dutch nationality
  • Dual nationality alongside another country, South Africa included

Immigration and residence

Coming to the Netherlands, staying in it, and the practical business of arriving.

  • Non-EU nationals moving to the Netherlands
  • The Dutch-American Friendship Treaty (DAFT)
  • Verification against EU law for the family of a Union citizen
  • Help on arrival, registration and administration
  • Dutch language and integration (inburgering)

Do you want to move to, live in, work in, the Netherlands (European Union member)? We can help you with most aspects. From immigration to naturalisation and everything in between.
