Registering your address
Anyone who will live in the Netherlands for more than four months must register with their municipality within five days of arriving. Registration gives you a BSN (citizen service number), which employers, banks and health insurers ask for. You can only register at an address where registration is allowed, so check the listing before booking. Shorter stays can register as a non-resident (RNI).
Getting around
Dutch cities are close together and connected by frequent NS trains: Amsterdam to Utrecht takes about 30 minutes, and Schiphol Airport is about 15 minutes from Amsterdam Centraal. You can pay for trains, trams, metros and buses by tapping a contactless bank card. Within cities, most people cycle on separated bike lanes.
