The Cabinet does not provide housing, nor do they have jurisdiction over the housing process. Housing in the Netherlands is currently a significant challenge, with demand far exceeding supply. Before moving to the Netherlands or relocating to another city, it is crucial that you secure accommodation in advance and ensure that you can legally register at your address. Taking these steps will help reduce any potential issues with your relocation.

For your documents to be legalized, you must ensure the following:

• Visit the Directorate of Foreign Relations on Sint Maarten for legalization of the notary’s signature. They are located in the government building on Pond Island.
• Visit our office in Den Haag for legalization (€10). Before visiting please call and make an appointment for the legalization of your documents.
•  Visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Den Haag (across from Den Haag CS) for legalization (€10)
