Prepare for signup
You are a founder and have an awesome idea and would like to establish your startup in the Netherlands. Nice. First things first. You need to prepare a bit before signing up for our help.
You’ve checked the possibilities to land your startup in the Netherlands and apply for a Startup Visa. To get a startup visa, you will need a few fundamentals:
1. An innovative idea for the Dutch market
2. Enough funds to live 1 year in the Netherlands
3. An experienced facilitator
If you bring the first two, we’ll connect you to the best fitting facilitator in our region. We have several facilitators specialized in the industries Digital, Energy, Water, Life Sciences and High Tech Systems and Materials (HTSM).

The facilitator will guide you through the startup ecosystem and will offer their knowledge to help and make your startup a succes. The Startup Visa NL Crew will match you with the right facilitator and innitiate the first call. It’s important that both the startup and facilitator feel that they can make a successful startup visa year!

Hooray! Time to help you touch down.
You can start your journey even before you arrive. You’ll receive information on housing, healthcare, opening a bank account, enrolling your children to the international school and the startup ecosystem. Once you arrive in the Netherlands, we are excited to meet you in person and kick-off your Startup Visa year together.
