Days 1–30: the structural phase

  • Entities: holding and operating BV stand remotely by video notary (the route); governance layers — STAK, foundation — designed in the same session: the architecture.
  • Banking: the ownership file opens accounts in parallel: the playbook.
  • School shortlist: applications out to two or three schools — the calendar’s real driver: the shortlist.

Days 31–60: the residence phase

  • The route: recognised sponsorship through your own BV or the self-employment scheme — the business you built in phase one carries the application.
  • The home: neighbourhood chosen off the school offers; rent-first or buy at 2% transfer tax on the family residence: the buying guide.
  • The tax design: personal position mapped — day counts, the 30% ruling where employment applies, box planning — before the moving date fixes the facts.

Days 61–90: the landing phase

  • Registration: municipal registration, citizen service numbers, health insurance (≈€150 per adult per month) — one civic afternoon, prepared.
  • The household: home handover, schools confirmed, the substance rhythm started — board calendar, local administration: what convinces.
  • The review: structure, residence and reporting checked against the plan — then the family simply lives here.
