What is the Dutch American Friendship Treaty (DAFT)

DAFT is an international convention that allows for citizens of the United States to migrate to the Netherlands as independent entrepreneurs. 

The DAFT aims to promote the economies of both the United States of America and the Netherlands and to stimulate trade and business on a bilateral basis. Via the DAFT, self-employed U.S. citizens can make use of a rather favourable ruling to work and reside in the Netherlands.

Most Americans applying for residence permits under DAFT have little or no experience establishing a business in the Netherlands. Expatlaw specializes in DAFT applications for American citizens. We provide custom business advice for the entrepreneur regarding local conditions here.

We offer a wide range of services and full service packages, to help self-employed Americans get their DAFT residence permits and establish their business in the Netherlands. We can provide all the necessary guidance and assistance needed in order to meet the necessary requirements
