Do you dream of life as a digital nomad?
Working abroad can offer wonderful opportunities.
But it is important to be well prepared.
I will walk you through the steps to help you,
with your adventure of becoming a digital nomad.
So let's get started with step one.
Check the implications for your KVK registration.
Are you already an entrepreneur and registered with KVK?
Then you should check what will change when you start working abroad.
It depends on your personal situation and country of destination,
as to whether or not you need to remain registered.
Are you not registered with the KVK yet?
Check out the website Business.gov.nl and see how you can register.
Proceed to step two:
Check whether you need to deregister from the municipality.
If you remain outside of the Netherlands for more than eight months a year,
you should deregister from your municipality.
Make sure that your address changes are passed on to the appropriate authorities.
Let's go to the next step:
Arrange your tax affairs.
Emigrating or temporarily working abroad may affect your tax situation.
Contact the Tax Administration to make sure everything is settled properly.
We move on to step four:
Check local rules and regulations.
Every country has its own rules and regulations for entrepreneurs.
Make sure you are aware of all requirements and obligations before leaving.
Proceed to the next step:
Arrange your insurances.
Your new adventure also brings new risks.
Check whether your current insurances are still valid abroad,
and take out new insurances if necessary.
Now let's go to the last step.
Check whether you need a visa and work permit.
Whether you need a visa or work permit depends on the country you are going to.
You can get information from the embassy or consulate for the requirements.
Ready for departure?
You are now well prepared to start your adventure as a digital nomad.
Remember to always contact the relevant authorities for specific questions and situations.
