Virtual Office in the Netherlands, with an Amsterdam Address

Yes. An address with reception work only, such as calls put through and post forwarded unopened, is "domicile only", and DNB says it is not a trust service. The provider is a Wwft institution (art. 1a(4)(g) Wwft). Address plus bookkeeping, tax returns, legal assistance or a director is a trust service licensed by DNB (art. 1(1) Wtt 2018, limb b).

As the postal address, yes: the KVK calls virtual offices contracts you can use as a postal address. As the visiting address, only if you actually work there and do most of your work there, with independent access during opening hours written into the contract. The KVK checks this during registration.

The postal address, yes. A legal person always records a visiting address too (art. 15(1) and (2) Hrb 2008), and the KVK requires the official to be physically accessible there. The KVK has not published its practice for a BV with nobody working in the Netherlands, so we state the rule and promise nothing more.

The Wwft requires us to identify you and verify your identity, and to establish the UBO, the ownership structure, the purpose of the relationship and the signatory's authority (art. 3(2) Wwft). It forbids us to start the relationship without that (art. 5(1) Wwft). The duty applies to every client, not only to clients abroad.

No. Our address plus bookkeeping, tax returns, annual accounts or legal assistance for the same company is "domicile plus", a trust service that needs a DNB licence (art. 1(1) Wtt 2018, limb b), and art. 3(4)(b) Wtt 2018 forbids activities aimed at both. Those remain the company's own duties, arranged separately from the address.

That is the bank's decision, and we do not promise it. Some banks require a Dutch business address, and business.gov.nl says approval often takes 2 to 8 weeks. If the visiting address is shielded in the Business Register, the KVK warns that opening an account online may not be possible.

No. Where a company is established is judged on the facts (art. 4(1) AWR), not on its address alone. The published substance conditions ask, among other things, for an office with the usual facilities, used for at least 24 months, where the work is actually done. A virtual office meets neither test. This page gives no tax advice.

Yes, as the postal address of your company in the Business Register. The KVK describes virtual offices as contracts you can use as a postal address, and its press release of 29 August 2025 says a P.O. box is not permitted but a virtual office can offer a solution. The visiting address follows the KVK's separate test.

Every registration carries both (art. 11(1)(c) and 14(1)(c) Hrw 2007), and they are usually the same. The visiting address is where the activities take place and where the owner or official can be reached in person; it may never be a P.O. box. The postal address is where the company's letters are sent.

A rental or service contract stating what you use, dated on or before the date of the change. A declaration of consent does not apply here: it is meant for residential addresses only. An existing BV filing by post sends form 14 with a copy of the signatory's ID, the photograph made unrecognisable.

For a new BV the notary files the registration, addresses included, within one week of the deed (art. 20(1) Hrw 2007). For an existing BV a director reports the change within one week of the change (art. 20(2) Hrw 2007). The KVK processes a change in 3 working days online and 7 working days by post.

Registering a new company costs a one-off EUR 85.15 in 2026, VAT-exempt and the same for every legal form (art. 5 Financiële regeling handelsregister 2019). Changing or adding an address is free of charge. A certified extract costs EUR 9.60 digital or EUR 19.20 on paper. Our own fee is on request.

At the BV's registered postal address, which is ours under the contract, and we forward them to you unopened. The Belastingdienst writes to a new BV by post within 2 weeks. If the postal address later changes, the company tells the Belastingdienst itself; the KVK passes on visiting-address changes only.

A company needs a Dutch business address, and a P.O. box cannot be used as one. The postal address can be ours under a virtual office contract. A person's residence is a separate matter: it is registered with the municipality in the BRP, a different register, which this service does not cover.

No. The KVK number comes from the Business Register and arrives in a letter at the company's registered postal address. The Belastingdienst sends the VAT identification number separately, by post. They are two different numbers, issued by two different authorities: the Chamber of Commerce and the Dutch Tax Administration.
