Basic Daft requirements
The requirements for the Dutch American Friendship Treaty are relatively simple and straightforward, and some of these steps can be completed before you even leave the U.S. For the DAFT application, have the following documents ready:
a valid United States passport;
business registration with the KVK, the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, as either a ZZP or BV;
a basic business plan (required only for ZZP registrations);
proof of investment: €4,500 in issued and paid-up capital for a BV, or a €4,500 deposit in a Dutch business bank account for a ZZP;
apostilled U.S. birth and marriage certificates for you and any family members moving with you.
While a registered residential address is not required for the initial application, if you are able to secure housing at the time of the application it will save you that step later on. If you are unable to secure housing, you can still apply for the DAFT residence permit; however within 6 months you will need to be a registered resident.
