Hi all,
is it difficult for expats to open a bank account in the Netherlands ?
Which documents are required to open a bank account in the Netherlands ?
How long does it take to open it ?
Is there any restriction for expats regarding the services (loans for instance) ?
Which bank would you recommend ?
Thanks in advance for your participation,
Julien

Hi, I finally got my bank account after being in the Netherlands for about a month. I didnt find the proces difficult. You just have to get your administration done and this was time consuming
I am here on the MVV. So I had to go to the IND in The Hague to show yourself and then you get a sticker in your passport,with that you have to register with a gemeente to get a BSN nr. Then you go straight to the bank and open an account. You get your pinpas while you wait.
In short - not difficult, just follow the proces and have the right documents in place.
