Corporate relocation usually covers the visa, a temporary flat and sometimes the gemeente appointment, and stops there. It leaves the school choice, the Belastingdienst letter in week six and the cricket club to you. We pick up where the relocation agency signs off, and we work for your family.
No. Never. Not a euro, from anyone. No commission, no referral fee, no kickback, no discount passed to us instead of to you. Many relocation agencies earn their real money that way, which is why they keep sending families to the same insurer, the same school and the same letting agent. We are paid by you, and by you alone. When we recommend an insurer, a school or a landlord, the only reason is that it is the best fit for your family, and we will tell you when the cheaper or free option is the better one.
Yes, and it's the best time. Gemeente appointments and school spots are the two things that reward acting early. Most families do the intro call from home a few weeks before the flight.
It depends on your child's age, how long you plan to stay and how much Dutch you want them to speak. International schools cost €6,000 to €25,000 a year and offer continuity; Dutch schools are free, have shorter waitlists in most neighbourhoods and integrate children fast, especially under 8. We'll give you an honest recommendation for your own situation.
Where we can: passport and consular renewals via your embassy in The Hague, banking questions back home, shipping household goods. For tax and legal matters in your home country we'll connect you with a specialist.
Then we'll quote you for that one thing. A single school search, one tax return, one afternoon at the gemeente. No plan required.
