A word from the Alderman

How nice that you are going to work for one of the entrepreneurs in this region and that you have already found a place to stay here. In addition to work and shelter, relaxation, sports and recreation are also very important. In this information app you will find a lot of information that can help you find your way around our municipality and the Netherlands.

As an EU citizen, in addition to rights, you also have some obligations. If you want to stay in the Netherlands for more than 4 months, you must register as a resident. From that moment on you are a temporary resident of our municipality. You must go to the municipality to register, move, get married, register your children at birth and apply for a driver's license. You also have to report unpleasant matters such as death and theft of documents to the municipality.

Information about matters such as traffic rules, the amount of traffic fines, a school for the children or the right to benefits and how much tax do I have to pay can be found in this app. All important things to know. Save the app on your phone: you may need the information at a later time.

Would you prefer to talk to someone if you have questions? We have free consultation hours at various locations in Venlo such as the library, the RNI counter and the Muspelheim community center. You can also find more information about this in this app. I hope you have a pleasant working period in our beautiful municipality.
