The DAFT Visa Checklist

World Wise Nomads Complete DAFT Visa Checklist

Moving to the Netherlands on the DAFT visa is absolutely doable. The hard part is knowing exactly what to do, and in what order. This checklist hands you the whole sequence.

It's a fill-as-you-go PDF workbook that walks you through every step of the DAFT residence permit application, from the documents you apostille before you ever leave the US to the final papers you mail to the IND. No conflicting forum threads, no guessing what comes next.

Inside you'll get:

• All seven steps in the exact order they actually happen, so nothing catches you out of sequence
• Clickable checkboxes for every task and document, so you always know what's done and what's next
• Fillable fields to record the numbers you collect along the way: your V-number, BSN, KvK number, VAT number, business IBAN, and more
• The exact IND mailing address and what to include in your application
• Notes on the parts nobody warns you about, like how the fee letter arrives and how long your BSN really takes to show up
• An "after approval" section so you don't miss the four-month health insurance deadline
• A sources page linking straight to the IND and official Dutch government pages, so you can verify every detail yourself

Print it, fill it in on your screen, and check off each win as you go. It's the calm, organized map for a process that usually feels like chaos.
