Plan
Only the tasks that apply to you, in the order the Dutch system actually expects them.
Your personal operating system for moving to and living in the Netherlands
Know where you stand. Know what comes next.
Your personalized guide to everything you need to do before and after moving to the Netherlands — from registration and healthcare to housing, taxes, banking and everyday life. Created by real people. Powered by intelligent technology.
Free to start. No credit card required.
Built for internationals. Grounded in official Dutch sources — we link to IND, Rijksoverheid and your gemeente, and never pretend to be them.
Moving country is a hundred small decisions in an unfamiliar order.
The answers exist — but they're scattered across government websites, municipality pages, insurers and providers, housing platforms and half-remembered advice in expat groups. Nothing tells you what applies to you, what comes first, or what you've already missed.
Your move, organized for you.
Tell us about your situation and Your Dutch Compass turns the complexity of moving to the Netherlands into a personalized plan — with the tasks, timing and resources that actually apply to you.
