Immigrating to the Netherlands is a big and exciting step you may be planning to undertake. If you are a citizen of an EU\/EEA country or Switzerland, a smooth and swift process of immigration to Holland awaits you thanks to the agreements made between countries in the EU\/EEA and Switzerland. In this article, we explain how to obtain Dutch citizenship for EU citizens and the rights of immigrants to Holland.<\/p>\n

EU\/EEA and Switzerland<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"DutchThe Netherlands joined the European Union (EU)<\/a> from its start in 1958. Currently, the EU contains 27 countries<\/a>, while five more countries are in the preparation phase for their EU membership. The European Economic Area (EEA) was founded in 1994 by the member states of the EU and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA)<\/a> to enable goods, capital, person, and services to move freely between the EU and EFTA member countries. Currently the EEA consists of all EU countries and the EFTA countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Switzerland is not part of the EU or EFTA, though it forged strong relationships with the Netherlands and other EU and EEA countries, allowing persons to move freely across their borders.<\/p>\n

EU\/EEA and Switzerland citizens in Holland<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Thanks to the abovementioned agreements, persons can move freely across the EU\/EEA countries and Switzerland. Thus, if you have no Dutch citizenship but you do hold citizenship of an EU\/EEA country or Switzerland, you can move freely in the Netherlands. Moreover, you may live and work in the Netherlands without a residence permit or work permit and you are not required to report to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND). Your citizenship of an EU\/EEA country of Switzerland will proof your legal stay in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

If you stay in Holland for over 4 months<\/strong>, the only practical matter you will have to organize is registering in the personal records database in your local municipality, which will give you a Citizen Service Number (Dutch ID). Your Dutch ID will help your employer to register you with the Tax and Customs Administration and you can use your Dutch ID for your convenience for doctor\u2019s appointments.<\/p>\n

Dutch long-term residency for EU\/EEA and Switzerland citizens<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you have lived in the Netherlands for over five years as citizen of an EU\/EEA country or Switzerland, you may apply for permanent residence in the Netherlands. You are not obliged to apply, but having a permanent residence permit in the Netherlands will benefit you twofold:<\/p>\n
