Help other expats

Coming to the Netherlands to live and work as an expat is quite a step. Let others know how the Welcome Center helped you do this. Of course, we are also curious what your first impression is and what the biggest differences are.

Help other organizations

When you are an organization hiring an expat, you also want everything to run smoothly. Share your experience with the Welcome Center and help others with a Happy Landing & Living

To give you some structure, you can answer the following questions.
But feel free to write your own story.

For expats
– Why did you choose the Netherlands?
– What gave the biggest culture shock or adjustment?
– What would you have liked to know before coming to NL?
– What tips do you have for other immigrants?
For organizations
– Why did you choose to engage WCFV?
– Have you collaborated with WCFV before?
– Are there several knowledge migrants working for you?
– Did the process go well?
