Official expat centres in the Netherlands

11 Official expat centres

IN Amsterdam officially opened in 2008 as the first of its kind (until 8 May 2017, it was known as Expatcenter Amsterdam). It is a joint initiative of the municipalities of Amsterdam, Amstelveen and the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (later joined by Almere, Diemen, Haarlem, Haarlemmermeer, Hilversum and Velsen).

Private initiatives using the expat centre name

Please note: there are commercial parties in the market who operate under the name Expatcenter. These companies are not official expat centres (even though they may call themselves one). They are not run by a government agency, nor are they affiliated with the City of Amsterdam or the Immigration and Naturalisation Services (IND). Therefore they are not able to directly offer the expat centre Procedure or other municipal services such as municipal registration or an application for a citizen service number (burgerservicenummer, BSN).

Please contact us directly if you have any questions.
