Topics in this section
Applying for DigiD
DigiD is your digital key for the government: taxes, allowances, healthcare, IND and the municipality. You need a BSN and you apply for it free of charge at digid.nl.
Applying for allowances (Toeslagen)
The Belastingdienst gives allowances to help with your costs: healthcare allowance, rent allowance, child budget and childcare allowance. You apply for them with DigiD.
Finding work
With a residence permit you are allowed to work. Register at werk.nl (UWV), make a CV, and search through job sites, employment agencies and your network. The municipality can guide you.
