    I don't believe this has been passed in Amsterdam though has it? I thought that was just to stop people migrating over board from Germany etc...?

      I was in Amsterdam three weeks ago and all the coffee shops had posters/flyers etc against the proposed changes - believe the vote was due to take place this month.

      I would google it but client site filter web traffic

        The law has been passed in the south, not sure about the impact in hamsterjam though

            Sounds like you would know the coo but if you have any specific questions feel free to PM me, I worked over there for a while.

            There was another thread from a long time back that asked about Jersey and I contributed to, could be worth a read.

              Netherlands or Germany perhaps.

              If you start looking at using a limited co in the Netherlands, it would have to be registered for the Wadi legislation (any European company sending out employees there needs to be registered). Otherwise, you could be fined.

              A flat outside of Amsterdam will be cheaper.

              Good umbrellas are Yellowstone and some people like Dutch Pal.

              Germany is also interesting. Nice landscapes, eating out is cheaper than in the Netherlands. Accommodation in Frankfurt areas is more expensive than in Berlin or Dusseldorf/Cologne.
