When considering a move to a new country, there is nothing more useful than hearing real life stories and experiences from other expats who have lived there. That's why I have decided to create my website ~ MovetotheNetherlands is purely based on a concept of sharing my expat experience in the Netherlands with other expats ~. Way back in 2002, when I relocated to the Netherlands for the first time, I had to go through some daunting red tape. Settling in the country proved to be a very challenging and stressful period. Therefore, the idea behind the website is to offer expats some guidelines about the relocation process to the Netherlands especially for those who prefer finding their way around on their own. Since its conception, the website has evolved into a more complete travel and relocation guidelines for the Netherlands keeping visitors updated from both perspectives!
