If you want to stay in the Netherlands for longer than three months and you are not an EU/EEA or Switzerland citizen, you need to apply for a verblijfsvergunning (residence permit).

The Civic Integration Act stipulates that most people from non-EU countries who immigrate to the Netherlands and live in the Netherlands must learn Dutch and understand how the Dutch society works. This is referred to as inburgering (civic integration). The aim of the Dutch integration policy is to have everyone in the Netherlands, including newcomers, feel a sense of community with each other and involvement with the Netherlands. The government wants people who settle in the Netherlands to take part in Dutch society regardless of where they come from or what they believe in.

I would like to move to the Netherlands. How can I arrange that?

If you want to live in the Netherlands you have to fit several requirements:

* once you are certain that you meet the requirements and have assembled the necessary documents, you need to choose a business type. You can find an overview of business types on  https://access-nl.org/dual-careers-netherlands/starting-a-business/legal-business-structures/how-can-i-choose-the-legal-form-or-business-structure-for-my-company/#questions-8511

* you need to make an appointment with the immigration authorities (IND). See https://ind.nl/en/service-contact/make-an-appointment-with-the-ind about how to contact them. You will obtain a sticker in your passport as proof you are allowed stay  in the Netherlands during the procedure. This is a residence endorsement sticker  (verblijfssticker). You are now allowed to live and work in the Netherlands until a decision regarding your DAFT visa has been made.
