Car insurance on a foreign licence
A non-EU licence stops being valid for driving here on day 186, and the RDW needs up to 15 working days to send the confirmation letter plus 5 more before collection. Applying on day 180 leaves a gap with no valid licence. Also separates the two unrelated rules that both use the number 185.
Accounting software for freelancers 2026
e-Boekhouden is €4,98/month and free for 15 months if your KvK registration is under 15 months old, but there is no English version at all. Moneybird is the one that genuinely runs in English at €15. Verified 2026 prices for five Dutch packages, plus the two free tiers that are enough on the KOR.
Health insurance Netherlands 2027

Moving from Germany to the Netherlands 2026
German residence permits do not transfer and GKV cover ends on departure. What actually changes: BSN appointment waits, Box 3 on wealth Germany never taxed, BPM as a cost rather than a refund, AOW building at only 2% a year, and Kindergeld becoming kinderbijslag.
