What is the DAFT Visa?

The Dutch American Friendship Treaty (DAFT) offers U.S. citizens a streamlined path to Dutch residence through entrepreneurial activity.

No job offer required. No large-scale investment needed. Simply start your small business and establish residency legally in the Netherlands with privileged treaty status.   Unlike many other European residence options, DAFT is widely regarded as one of the most accessible pathways for American entrepreneurs seeking to live and work in the Netherlands.
