EXPAT Advisory — DAFT support options

DAFT Visa Support

Choose the right path: stay DIY with DAFT DIY Companion, or use DAFT Assist when you want the DAFT paperwork process handled for you.

There are two DAFT service paths here: stay DIY with the DAFT DIY Guide + DAFT DIY Companion, or choose DAFT Assist when you want EXPAT Advisory to handle the DAFT paperwork process for you.

DAFT Assist is the flat-fee paperwork processing lane for solo applicants, couples, and families. Application forms, supporting documents, household paperwork, filing / submission steps, official-request tracking, capital/admin handling, and decision-window follow-through stay in one portal workflow.

The pages are built around the DAFT timeline, the €4,500 capital requirement, and BRP / BSN / DigiD — plus the real-life friction points around spouse / partner paperwork, renting in NL on DAFT, health insurance on DAFT, and your first 6 months after DAFT — because that is what actually determines whether the process feels clean or chaotic.
