Our Story
As expats, we know how overwhelming it can be to build a new life in a country where everything operates in a different language. What is a quick, routine call for a local can feel like an obstacle course for an expat. We are a Dutch-South African couple who know exactly what you’re up against. We founded ExpatservicesNL.nl based on the belief that access to high-quality services should never depend on your language skills. We curate a network of professionals who understand exactly what you need, ensuring you never have to guess whether you’ve captured all the important details. We make navigating Dutch services effortless. Because you’re here to live, work, and thrive—not to struggle with language barriers.
How we work
We will not just any service. We will search, verify and only then add to the website. In this process, we aim to contact each company in order to verify our research. Companies are welcome to edit or submit their own details. In this, we ensure:
- That business registration, website and contact details are checked before publication
- That listings are periodically reviewed for accuracy
- That we do not sell rankings; featured placements do not affect category ordering.
- That in case there is sponsorship, these listings are clearly labelled.
- That the minimal requirement for listing is to have at least an English section on the website.
- That we will encourage all companies to improve their communication in English, both in conversations, website and offical documents.
