Remote Work and Digital Nomad Culture in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is an attractive destination for digital nomads and remote workers, thanks to its excellent infrastructure and progressive work culture. While the Netherlands does not offer a specific "digital nomad visa" like some other countries, it provides several options for remote workers and self-employed individuals looking to live and work in Amsterdam. The most relevant option is the long-stay MVV visa, which allows non-EU citizens to stay in the Netherlands for up to 90 days and can be extended while you apply for a residence permit. This visa is ideal for digital nomads planning to stay for an extended period or establish a base in Amsterdam.
