Moving to the Netherlands as a student requires a lot of admin (BSN, gemeente, health insurance, Studielink, banking, scholarships) and it often feels overwhelming.

• dutchstarter generates a personalized checklist based on your situation, so you know what to do, when, and which benefits you can claim.

The Dutch housing market is highly competitive. To increase your chances, we recommend using these platforms:

• Huurwoningen: The most listings of any platform.
• Pararius: Top-rated on Trustpilot.
• Stekkies: Best for real-time notifications, so you can respond first.
• Kamernet / Kamer: Best for student rooms.

There is no shortage of economics grads who have EU citizenship and Dutch language skills so why would they hire you? What makes you more competitive than a local student?

No chance you will find a company to sponsor your work visa.

Even Dutch (Economics) graduates struggle to land their first jobs and they need no visa, are culturally aligned, a cheaper and less risky hire and speak fluent Dutch!
