What you'll find in the Holland Handbook

As always, The Holland Handbook has been expanded upon to reflect the latest developments in the country, while it also includes topics that have gained relevance since the book first appeared, adapting to the new generation of foreign nationals, immigrants and students who have come to the Netherlands - either for a few months or for a longer period of time.

The Holland Handbook offers plenty of information to those who have just moved here - or are preparing for their move here - on issues such as permits, bank accounts, international schools, universities, job-searching, employment law, the BSN number, finding a place to live and insurance.

The book goes beyond covering the very first steps you will be taking towards starting a life in the Netherlands: it also prepares you for what comes next, such as learning the language, getting to know your Dutch neighbours and celebrating life’s milestones and holidays the Dutch way.

It also covers practical things such as the health care system, the education system - ranging from pre-kindergarten to obtaining a PhD - public transportation, legal problems, things to do in your free time, importing your car, having a baby, and so much more!
