Expert Removals to and from the Netherlands Regal Moving & Storage

To ensure a smooth relocation to the Netherlands, it’s important to be aware of the key legal and practical requirements. A valid passport is necessary, and if you’re staying longer than 90 days, you’ll need to register with the local municipality (gemeente) to obtain a BSN (citizen service number), which is essential for accessing healthcare, employment, and other public services.

The Netherlands is known for its efficient public systems and high standard of living. Health insurance is mandatory, so securing Dutch health coverage should be one of your top priorities upon arrival. You’ll also need to set up a local bank account and arrange utilities and mobile services, which are generally straightforward but can vary slightly by region.

Urban centres such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and The Hague may have parking or access restrictions for larger vehicles, particularly in older or canal-lined areas. We will check property access in advance to plan for appropriate vehicle use or handling support.

If you plan to bring a UK-registered vehicle, it must be registered in the Netherlands within a specified timeframe - typically within six months of becoming a resident. Importing duties, vehicle inspections, and proof of insurance are part of this process.
