Generate a personalized moving checklist for the Netherlands. Focus on preparation, travel, and handoff to your first days.
Moving from Chile to the Netherlands is immigration-first for long stays: residence permits for recognised purposes and often an MVV, plus Hague apostille on Chilean documents per Netherlands Worldwide. Short-stay Schengen from Chile is handled through the Dutch embassy in Santiago—separate from relocation. When an MVV is required, IND and Netherlands Worldwide describe applying for MVV and residence permit together and a limited window after approval to apply for the MVV sticker—confirm live pages.
