DAFT Visa Netherlands
For U.S. Entrepreneurs
Move to the Netherlands and run your own business under the Dutch‑American Friendship Treaty. We guide you from eligibility to residence permit and registration.
What is DAFT?
DAFT is a treaty-based residence route that allows U.S. citizens to start and operate a business in the Netherlands, subject to specific conditions and documentation.
Requirements can vary by case; we confirm eligibility in a short intake.
Dutch Business Registration (KVK)

Freelance Consultant
(Remote / International Clients)
You’re a U.S. citizen working independently as a consultant—often with international or U.S.-based clients. DAFT can be a strong fit when you can clearly show ongoing business activity and a realistic revenue model. We help you package your profile so it reads like a real business, not “just remote work.”
