For ambitious entrepreneurs from the United States, the DAFT (Dutch American Friendship treaty scheme) is a huge opportunity which enables them to establish their business in the Netherlands with a valid residence permit.

The DAFT application is much easier going in comparison with the regular self-employment application. With the DAFT application, the entrepreneur doesn’t have to undergo an examination of the point system of Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO). This easy-going procedure stems from the Dutch American Friendship Treaty.

The DAFT procedure is recommended for every American entrepreneur.
