Returning to your home country — what should you arrange in the Netherlands?

1. Notify your utility providers
Once your home is sold and you know your moving date, inform your providers:L

• electricity
• gas
• internet

Make sure to cancel contracts on time and confirm the end date.

2. Deregister from your municipality
Before leaving the Netherlands, you must inform your municipality. Provide:

• your moving date
• your new address abroad

You will receive confirmation of deregistration.

3. Keep your DigiD
Even after leaving the Netherlands, DigiD remains useful. You can still:

• check your taxes
• access pension information
• view employment history

4. Inform your employer
If you are working in the Netherlands, notify your employer in advance. Depending on your situation:

• you may finish your contract
• or resign earlier

This can affect your eligibility for benefits, so it’s important to plan this step carefully.

5. Check your taxes and benefits
Make sure all authorities are informed about your move. Check:

• tax office
• SVB
• any benefits you receive

All outstanding payments should be settled before leaving.

6. Cancel your health insurance on time
Health insurance often has a notice period. Cancel it in advance to avoid:

• extra costs
• unpaid invoices after leaving

7. What about your bank account? You can:

• close your account
• or keep it and manage it online

Choose what works best for your situation.

8. Repay outstanding loans
Before leaving the Netherlands, make sure all loans are repaid. Keep proof of payment.
Financial institutions can still contact you abroad.

9. Car registration and insurance
If you own a car:

• deregister it or export it via RDW
• cancel your car insurance

If your insurance is with Polisa, inform them in advance.

10. Translate your diplomas
If you studied in the Netherlands, arrange official translations of your diplomas.
This allows you to use them in your home country.
