Everything you need to know about emigrating from the Netherlands

11.01.2021

Everything in our life flows and changes, and if for some reason you decide to emigrate from the Netherlands to another country, then before doing this, you should take care of some things in advance - below we give you a short checklist.

 

DigiD

To make it easier for you to contact the Dutch government authorities in your country of emigration, it is worth having DigiD. Even when you are away, you can use your login and password and check your mail, and if you complete any documents, you can confirm your identity.

 

Extract from the City Hall (gemeente)

You must be discharged before leaving and it is best for you to have this discharge confirmation with you (bewijs van uitschrijving). In the future, this document may be requested by various authorities in the new place of residence.

Also, upon departure, you should inform the mayor's office of your new address in another country. If the exact address is not yet known, then you can leave the details and address of the contact person.

 

IND notification and return of residence cards

Once you have notified the mayor's office of your departure, they will automatically forward the information to the IND. You must also return your residence card (residence permit or permanent residence) to the immigration office (IND). This can be done both before and after departure. But before you mail it, you have to invalidate it: You can score the card (don't cut it all the way) or punch holes in it (like a hole punch). After that, send it by letter to IND Bureau Documenten – PO Box 7025; 8007HA Zwolle.

If you are worried that the IND will take a long time to notify the IND of your departure, you can also attach to your residence card your departure notification form.

Remember that you will be fined if you fail to notify the IND to leave.

 

Car and personal belongings

On departure, you must deregister the vehicle. To do this, it must be registered with RDW as an export vehicle. You do not need to make an appointment at RDW for this, but you must bring the car for inspection to the RDW branch in Zoetermeer or Veendam, or to an authorized point for export processing. The addresses of such points can be found HERE

You must have with you:

  • car documents;
  • ID
  • car license plates;
  • power of attorney per person (if not the owner arrives), and
  • signed by Uittreksel (extract) from Kvk in case the car has been registered with the company.

You may be able to get back some of the paid bpm back.

Conditions for the refund of this tax:

  • the vehicle was registered in the Netherlands after October 16, 2006
  • the car is not damaged
  • the car is serviceable
  • the vehicle is registered with RDW for export
  • the vehicle is registered in another EU country or in Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway. Registration must be completed within 13 weeks after receiving the "Export" status in RDW.

Registration must be completed within 13 weeks after obtaining Export status with RDW.

If you move to another EU country, you can move your belongings without any formalities.

If you are moving outside the EU, then you need to submit an export declaration to customs. The shipping company can help you with this.

 

Health insurance

If you and / or your family remain insured in the Netherlands after your emigration, or if you receive a pension from the Netherlands or some other benefit while you live in another EU or EEA country (Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland) or from the list of countries with which an agreement has been concluded (Switzerland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cape Verde, Macedonia, Morocco, Montenegro, Serbia, Tunisia, Turkey), then you should notify and register with CAK

 

Subsidies

If you are receiving any subsidies (zorgtoeslag, huurtoeslag, kinderopvangtoeslag, kindgebonden budget), then they should be stopped - subsidies are calculated based on your situation in the Netherlands.

Advance report

If you pay any tax up front or receive any tax refund up front, you should stop these payments / receipts.

If you no longer live in the Netherlands, but you still have income from the Netherlands, then you are a foreign taxpayer. In this case, slightly different rules apply, but you may still be eligible for a refund or tax advance.

 

Tax return

If you were registered in the Netherlands for part of the year, you need to file an M-form annual tax return. If you have lived outside the Netherlands for the entire calendar year, you will need to submit a C-form.

Moreover, if you are a qualified foreign taxpayer and live in another EU country or in Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius or Saba Island, then you are entitled to tax discounts.

Protective assessment

In the year you leave the Netherlands, you file an M-form for your annual tax return. After that, you can get an overview of the pension accumulated in the Netherlands, as well as a calculation of the taxes that you must pay if you want to withdraw your pension now.

During your employment, pension contributions were tax-free, so if you withdraw your accumulated pension, you receive income that must be withheld. The resulting calculation is valid for 10 years. If there is a violation of Dutch tax laws within 10 years, the estimate obtained must be paid by you immediately.

  • contributions to a private pension fund
  • Kapitaalverzekering, spaarrekening of beleggingsrecht eigen woning if you leave without selling your property
  • ownership of shares in a Dutch company (over 5%)
