The Netherlands, also called Holland, is located in Western Europe north of Belgium and west of Germany. Since the country is mostly made up of coastal areas, the Netherlands has cool, temperate summers and generally mild winters. Other than the coastal regions, you will find when moving to the Netherlands that there are hills to explore in the southern part of the country in addition to a rolling countryside. In the Netherlands the Euro became the official currency just before the new millennium. The Netherlands has a stable economy and depends heavily on foreign trade. If you are moving to the Netherlands you can expect moderate inflation and unemployment rates. The industry is largely limited to chemicals, oil refining, food processing and electrical equipment. You may already be aware that Amsterdam is the nation’s capital. Amsterdam is a popular destination for tourists and is famous for its diamond cutting industry. Now is a good time to move to the Netherlands as the country is undergoing important economic and social developments. It is necessary to obtain a visa when moving to the Netherlands. This can take time, so be sure to plan ahead and give yourself enough time before your move.
