Current deals for expats in the Netherlands

Every active welcome bonus, cashback and promo price, verified weekly

Last updated: October 7, 2026✓ Checked every Monday

Dutch providers compete hard for new customers: energy companies pay welcome cashbacks up to €500, internet providers halve their prices for the first months, and SIM-only bundles start at €1 per month during promos. This page collects every active offer we track across our energy comparison, internet comparison and mobile comparison pages.

We verify each promotion on the provider's own website every Monday. Offers with a known end date show it on the card. Most deals are for new customers on the provider's standard sign-up flow, no promo code needed unless stated.

Frequently asked questions

How do energy welcome cashbacks work in the Netherlands?

Dutch energy providers pay new customers a one-off welcome discount (welkomstbonus) of €100-€500 for signing a fixed contract, usually settled against your first annual bill. The bonus amounts change weekly per provider. You can switch energy provider year-round, and switching again when your fixed term ends means you can collect a new welcome bonus from another provider.

Are these deals available to expats?

Yes, every deal on this page is from a provider that accepts expats. You generally need a Dutch address, an IBAN bank account, and for most telecom contracts a BSN. Pre-arrival options that need no BSN are marked, such as Saily travel eSIMs and Lycamobile.

How often is this deals page updated?

Every Monday. We fetch each provider's website, verify the current promotion, and update this page together with our comparison pages. Deals with a known end date show it on the card. If a deal expired and still shows here, it expired within the last few days.

Are the promotional prices the real prices?

Promo prices apply for the stated period, then the standard rate applies for the rest of the contract. We show the promo mechanics (for example 50% off for 6 months on a 2-year contract) so you can calculate the full contract cost. Our comparison pages show year-1 totals for every provider.
