About GetSettled

What GetSettled is

A practical, bilingual guide for people moving to Amsterdam. Built to answer the questions that actually matter — clearly, honestly, and in the right order. Available in English and Spanish so the guide reaches the full expat community, not just English speakers.

Why it exists

Moving to Amsterdam involves more bureaucracy than anyone warns you about. Information is scattered across official Dutch sites, outdated blog posts, and Reddit threads. GetSettled compiles the essentials in one place: researched from official Dutch government sources, written in plain language, and kept up to date.

How it works

Every guide is researched from primary sources — amsterdam.nl, Belastingdienst, IND, Gemeente Amsterdam — and written to answer the specific question you're actually asking. The site is not sponsored by any government body or real estate platform. Some pages include contextual links to services we consider genuinely useful.
