Is Buitenland Loket a Government Organization?

Edited

No, Buitenland Loket is not part of the Dutch government.

We are an independent platform that collects, clarifies, and makes information accessible for Dutch citizens living abroad, planning to emigrate, or returning to the Netherlands.

Where possible, we refer you to official government sources, but we are not a government body and do not issue official decisions or advice on behalf of government agencies.


What we do:

  • Provide practical explanations about procedures and regulations

  • Refer you to recognized authorities and trusted partners

  • Make information clear and quickly accessible

What we don’t do:

  • Make decisions on behalf of government organizations

  • Guarantee that all information is 100% up-to-date without an official source
