Before you start
Planning view only — not legal or tax advice. This tool does not clear you to leave or decide residency, insurance, or benefits for your case. Confirm steps with your gemeente, insurer, Belastingdienst, and qualified advisers when facts are complex.

How this tool works
What we surface
We map deterministic exit-admin themes: departure timing, municipality deregistration, housing close-out, Dutch health insurance, toeslagen, employer/payroll exit, tax records, banks/contracts, and destination registration.
What we do not do
We do not book appointments, stop insurance, file tax returns, or certify that your exit is complete. Official portals and your own situation remain the source of truth.
