Arranging insurance as an expat in the Netherlands

Why moving is a crucial insurance moment

When moving to the Netherlands, your living situation changes completely. Existing foreign insurance policies often no longer provide cover or are insufficient. Furthermore, Dutch laws, regulations, and what is considered 'normal' locally can differ significantly from what you are used to.

Essential non-life insurances for expats

• Liability (AVP): For damage that you, your partner, or your children accidentally cause to others or their property.
• Contents: For the belongings in your home, such as furniture, electronics, and clothing.
• Buildings: For damage to the house itself, such as walls and roofs (primarily important for homeowners).
• Legal Expenses: For legal assistance in disputes regarding work, housing, or consumer purchases.
