Keep Your US Job. Live in the Netherlands.
DAFT lets remote workers move to the Netherlands without giving up their American career. We'll show you exactly how.
Sound Familiar?
If you're nodding along, you're in the right place.
“You love your remote job but want more than your current city.”
The Netherlands has fast internet, great coworking spaces, and you're a train ride from anywhere in Europe.
“You're not sure if your employer will let you work from Europe.”
Many remote workers on DAFT structure as independent contractors. We explain the options in detail.
“Tax implications terrify you.”
The US-Netherlands tax treaty and Foreign Earned Income Exclusion can actually work in your favor. Our guide breaks it all down.
“You don't want to start a business from scratch.”
DAFT requires a business entity, but it can be as simple as registering your freelance consulting work. One appointment at the KVK.
How DAFT Works for Remote Workers
The Dutch-American Friendship Treaty (DAFT) gives US citizens a path to live and work in the Netherlands. Here's how it applies to you.
Register a simple business entity
You set up an Eenmanszaak (sole proprietorship) at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. It takes one appointment.
Your existing remote work qualifies
You don't need Dutch clients. Your current US remote work counts as your business activity.
Tax treaty prevents double taxation
The US-Netherlands tax treaty and Foreign Earned Income Exclusion mean you won't be taxed twice.
Your partner can join you
Dependents get a residence permit with unrestricted work authorization. Your partner can work for any Dutch employer.
