Hi All,

I'm from NZ and will be applying for the Working Holiday Visa in the Netherlands. This allows me to live and do incidental work for up to 1 year. My plan is to stay in one city (ideally Amsterdam) for around 6 months and then travel around the country for the remainder. While working in one city registration shouldn't be a problem as I will be living in one place, however when I plan to travel around the country I wont be in permanent accommodation (I might be in some places a couple weeks or days and may do some volunteering or casual work).

Does anyone have any experience of how I can stay registered while not having a home address and travelling around the country? Is this possible?

Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks,
Kaitlyn

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

I have a feeling this will be one of those moments where you may get a different answer depending on who you ask. You're not the first person who will have done this and I can't think of any benefit to be gained by you registering/de-registering as you wend your way around the country. Holland is not a Police state where they track your movements; so, my advice would be to leave your registration where you originally first register (i.e. Amsterdam). Just remember to de-register when you leave the country for good.

Hope this helps.
