Moving to America-what do I need to know?
Moving to America remains something special. Not only are you dealing with a different culture and moving outside of Europe, but you also have to deal with rules and laws to be there at all.
- As a Dutchman, you need a Greencard to settle in America. This is a residence permit necessary if you are going to stay in America for more than 90 days, apply for a job or want to buy a house. There are several ways to get a Greencard, such as through your employer, marriage or the Diversity lottery where the U.S. government raffles off up to 50,000 Greencards each year. Nevertheless, applying for a visa remains a complicated formality.
- Not sure yet how long you will stay in America? Then consider renting property first. Cities like San Francisco and New York have high rents, while lesser cities and rural areas are cheaper. If you know you will stay in America longer, you may be interested in buying a home. Visit real estate agent websites in your desired region for more information. Of course, we are happy to help you find a suitable home.
- Health care in America is regulated differently than in the Netherlands. It is advisable to check carefully in advance how this will be for you the moment you start living in America.
