Expat Advisory helps U.S. citizens and families plan and execute a smooth move to the Netherlands—especially through the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty (DAFT). We combine step-by-step guidance, practical tools, and clear planning so you can avoid delays, costly mistakes, and unnecessary stress.
Expat Advisory is a Netherlands-based advisory and support platform built for U.S. expats—specializing in DAFT (Dutch-American Friendship Treaty) applicants and newly arrived entrepreneurs. We help you understand the process, prepare the right documents, and make confident decisions before and after arrival, with a focus on clarity, speed, and “no surprises.”
What we help with
- DAFT planning & application readiness: step-by-step prep, document requirements, sequencing, and common IND pitfalls
- Business setup guidance: practical support for getting established as a ZZP or BV (and understanding which route fits your situation)
- Municipality + arrival setup: BSN, registration flow, and the early “life admin” that impacts your timeline
- Financial decision support: high-level move planning and scenario guidance so you understand cost of living, timing, and tradeoffs
- DIY-friendly resources: a comprehensive self-serve DAFT guide plus optional “real human” support for questions as you go
Who we work best with
- U.S. citizens pursuing DAFT
- Couples/families relocating from the U.S.
- Entrepreneurs who want an organized, English-first roadmap and practical help navigating the Dutch system
Our approach
We’re structured, checklist-driven, and focused on helping you take the right next step with confidence. We provide educational and advisory support (not legal representation), and we’re best used as your planning partner—whether you want to DIY with guidance or get more hands-on help.
