I would try to contact the city offices, explain you are moving there under the DAFT to start your own business, and ask what you need to bring to document your employment plans. Best of luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641678282422817409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599231023287262124.post-26431631570502852502013-11-02T10:02:59.876-07:002013-11-02T10:02:59.876-07:00Hello Shannon,

On The iamsterdam.com website, it says that besides all of use documents, there is also a 'current work contract' required. None of the resources that I have explored (including yours) mention this, which makes sense: you cannot have a work contract if you are eventually applying to be a single-man business.

It's all quite helpful :) I am wondering though..as me and my husband intend to move by next year..what kind of business have you opened? we have been noticing that we will need a LOT of start up money to open our shop (Lebanese dairy and desserts). Is it easy to get bank loans in Holland? Did you face such a problem? <br />Thanks again! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07700121394407185442noreply@blogger.com
