Removals to Amsterdam 

The Netherlands’ capital is the most expensive location in the country, and also one of the most sought after. Let’s take a look at the key things you need to know…

 

Cost of Life in Amsterdam

With the average monthly salary for a Dutch worker just over £2,500, you can expect there to be a fair amount of competition for rental properties. Apartments in the centre of the city are some of the most sought after, with rents of £800-£1,000 a month typical for this desirable location. Transportation will be in line with UK prices, while eating out is approximately 10% cheaper, depending on where you go. This all adds up to make Amsterdam a desirable location if your budget allows. 

 

Is Amsterdam a safe city?

The liberal and progressive nature of the city is backed up by a higher relative spend on public services and policing than in many other parts of Europe. This helps create a safe, clean and welcoming city that’s popular with expats from all walks of life. The key thing is to visit the area you’re moving to before you make the final decision so you can really get a feel for the setting and surrounding area 

 

Do you have to speak Dutch in Amsterdam?

You will get by just fine by only speaking English when you arrive, which is good news for those with no prior experience of speaking a second language. To get the most out of the city and the coffee shop culture that makes it famous, get a phrase app and you’ll be amazed how quickly you pick things up. By being surrounded by your new language you’ll learn it so much quicker than you would back in the UK, studying in isolation. 

 

Job Opportunities in Amsterdam?

The Netherlands is going through something of a tech and engineering boom right now, which makes holders of post graduate degrees and scientific skill sets particularly sought after. Legal, financial and content services are also big employers in the city and surrounding area right now, with a number of well-established firms constantly looking for new talent. 

 

Do you need citizenship to work in Amsterdam?

To work long term in Amsterdam you need to apply for a residency and work visa, and will typically need to have it sponsored by an employer. This is to prove you meet all of the right to work criteria and that you have a job that will support your way of life. You will also need to look into any restrictions on changing your terms of employment once you arrive. Other than that, make best use of your savings by looking for affordable accommodation, budgeting for your entertainment in the evenings and opting for bicycles or public transport wherever practical and possible.
