Are you planning to work in the Netherlands, perhaps in Haarlemmermeer? That is a great idea. The Netherlands offers many opportunities for motivated people from across Europe. But what do you need to arrange to get started in the right way?

1. Are you allowed to work in the Netherlands?

Yes, you are. If you are a citizen of an EU country, you do not need a visa or work permit. Just make sure you have a valid passport or national ID card. That is all you need to begin.

2. BSN (Citizen Service Number): your Dutch ID number

You need a BSN to work and pay taxes, get Dutch health insurance, and open a bank account.

You will receive your BSN when you register with the local municipality where you will be living. If you have worked in the Netherlands before, you may already have a BSN. In that case, you can simply use the same number again.

3. Health insurance: mandatory and essential

Everyone who works in the Netherlands must have Dutch health insurance. This also applies to temporary workers. There is no need to worry, as we will guide you step by step in choosing and arranging a reliable and affordable insurance plan.

4. Dutch bank account for EU Temporary workers

To receive your salary, you need a Dutch bank account. We can help you set that up as well. Everything will be arranged quickly and easily.

At ABflexkracht, we make sure you start fully prepared. You will have one dedicated contact person who answers your questions, helps you with all the formalities, and makes sure you feel welcome in the Netherlands. All support is provided in your own language. Read more about how to start working in the Netherlands quickly.

Your salary depends on your role and the number of hours you work. All wages fully comply with Dutch collective labour agreements (CAO) and legal regulations. Every week, we double-check to ensure you’re paid exactly what you’re entitled to. Want to know more about what you can earn? Read it here.
