What Our Users Say
They have already used our services
We moved as a family of four and the entire process, from business registration to DAFT compliance, was made seamless by this firm. They even helped us understand school options for our kids and healthcare registration. We now live in a beautiful part of The Hague and feel totally supported.
Moving to the Netherlands to open my yoga studio felt overwhelming until I found this team. They not only helped me apply under the Dutch American Friendship Treaty, but also explained the best way to structure my business for success in Utrecht. Now I teach full-time, stress-free, and legally rooted in Europe!
As a freelance UX consultant working with U.S. and EU clients, I needed a legal base in the Netherlands. The DAFT visa support I received was clear, fast, and tailored to the freelance lifestyle. I didn’t have to jump through hoops, everything was handled with precision. Highly recommend for any digital nomad or remote tech worker.
