How it works

From the first eligibility check to landing with your cohort — and staying compliant after.

  1. 01

    Free eligibility check

    Tell us your situation. We map the DAFT path and create your account.

  2. 02

    Intro call

    A real conversation — plan, timeline, and which package fits.

  3. 03

    Apply

    We support company setup, the business plan, and the permit application.

  4. 04

    Land with your cohort

    Monthly cohorts, a welcome evening, and intros to banks, accountants, coworking, and housing partners.

  5. 05

    Founder Care

    Bookkeeping, filings, and renewal prep — because the IND reviews business activity at extension.

Next cohort lands 15 November 2026

Monthly cohorts, a welcome evening, introductions to banks, accountants, coworking and housing partners, and an ongoing founder community.

Packages

Service packages are sold after your intro call. Prices in EUR, excl. VAT. Third-party costs (IND, KvK, notary, translations) are not included.

Since 2010, we have filed hundreds of DAFT applications and every one has been approved. The IND makes the decision and we can't promise an outcome, so past results don't guarantee future ones.

FAQ

Who is this for?
Founders applying under the Dutch American Friendship Treaty (DAFT). Japanese founders under DJFT can join the waitlist on our Japan page for Q1 2027.
Do you guarantee approval?
No. We support a strong application and stay with you after you land. Immigration decisions are made by the IND — we never promise an outcome.
How do I pay for Starter or Complete?
Start with the free eligibility check and book an intro call. After that call, RPS Legal sends a Stripe payment link. There is no self-serve checkout for service packages.
What about the software?
Day tracking is free. Document tracker, checklist, and alerts are on Plus (€19/mo or €190/yr) for self-serve routes. Starter and Complete include platform access for 12 months; Founder Care includes it while active.
Why Founder Care?
The IND reviews business activity when you extend your permit. Bookkeeping, contracts, and filings are what protect it.
