Basecamp Europe

Relocating to the Netherlands

Move to the Netherlands with a plan, not a spreadsheet.

Visa checklists stop helping the day you're approved. Day-counter apps don't know anything about your actual case. Basecamp Europe is the only one that does both — for the Netherlands, from your first document to your citizenship application.

A

Alex Resident

United States

Schengen 90/180

Safe

You've used 58 of your 90 days in the last 180 days. You're clear to travel.

NL naturalization residence

Safe

Your time outside the Netherlands this year is well within limits.

Home-country tax residency

Warning

You're approaching the day threshold that could trigger tax residency.

If you're moving to the Netherlands, here's what nobody tells you upfront:

6 months

Take a few months to care for a sick parent, or spend a season working from abroad, and you could unknowingly reset your path to Dutch citizenship — with nobody telling you until it's already too late.

→ Basecamp Europe is the only tool that's still watching after you've already got your visa, for the years it actually takes to get to citizenship.

€700–2,400+

You could pay €700–2,400+ for a lawyer to fill out forms you're fully capable of filing yourself.

→ Basecamp Europe's free checklist gets you through the same paperwork yourself, with a paid guided review if you want a second pair of eyes — a fraction of the cost.

6–8 weeks

Your application could sit for 6–8 weeks with zero visibility into what's actually happening — or what's still missing.

→ Basecamp Europe tracks exactly where you are and what's still outstanding, so nothing sits waiting on you.

Every document, explained.

Not just a checklist. Each item comes with the exact guidance for why it's needed and what trips people up — DAFT, HSM, Blue Card, Orientation Year, or family reunification, route-specific from day one.

Every rule, covered.

Schengen 90/180, home-country tax residency, and the Dutch naturalization absence rules — tracked together in one household view, in plain language, not legal jargon you have to decode yourself.

Every day, counted.

Log a trip once and every family member's status recomputes automatically. Nothing to remember, nothing to reconstruct in a panic before a renewal.

Every other tool picks one half of this.

Visa checklist apps(Migroot and similar)

Get you through the application, then the relationship ends. Nobody watches what happens after you land.

Day-counter apps(Schengen and tax-residency calculators)

Track days, but know nothing about your specific visa route, your permit type, or what's actually at stake for your situation.

Basecamp Europe

The checklist gets you in, and the same account keeps working for the years it takes to get from a visa to a citizenship application — tracking Schengen, tax residency, and Dutch naturalization rules together, for every family member.

Built for the Netherlands specifically, because nobody else has.

Not a black box. Every status, explained.

Schengen 90/180

Regulation (EU) 2016/399

62 of 90 days used

NL continuous residence

Dutch Nationality Act absence rules

2 months absent this year, well within limits

Home-country tax residency

Day-count threshold test

40 of 183 days used this year

Every number on your dashboard traces back to a specific rule — never a guess.

Why we built this

We watched people pay thousands of euros for a lawyer to hand them a checklist — and still get blindsided months later by a rule nobody mentioned, like a long trip home quietly resetting their naturalization clock.

Basecamp Europe exists so that doesn't happen to you. It won't replace a lawyer when you actually need one, and it'll tell you when that's the case — a real advisor is always one tap away. But for the day-to-day tracking that turns into an expensive surprise if you get it wrong, you shouldn't need to pay someone else to keep count.

Encrypted storage

Documents and data encrypted at rest via Supabase.

Full audit trail

Every compliance calculation traceable to the rule that produced it.

Human advisor, one tap away

Every risk-tier status links directly to a real advisor, not just software.
