Pricing
What does a step-by-step plan cost?
Pay once, per destination, no subscription. The price depends on how much there is to watch: a move within the EU is a different journey from a visa with a points system.
Four prices
The more there is to watch, the higher the tier
Every destination sits on one of four tiers. The tier follows the work, not the country: a residence permit you get almost automatically is a different puzzle from a visa you need points for.
€ 199
one-off
No visa needed
EU and EEA: free movement, so no residence application. What there is to watch is the Dutch side and the registration on the other side.
The countries on this tier
€ 299
one-off
No visa, but a settlement journey
Within the Kingdom or under a treaty: no visa application, but a declaration, a permit or a registration with clocks of its own.
The countries on this tier
€ 399
one-off
Visa or permit needed
A real visa journey: an application, documents that have to stay valid, and a renewal cycle after arrival.
The countries on this tier
€ 499
one-off
Points system, skills assessment and language test
The heaviest journey: scoring points, having your occupation assessed, sitting a language test — all in the right order, before the application.
The countries on this tier
Pay with iDEAL or card. You receive a VAT invoice by email.
The price for your country is also on the country page, above the buy button.

And after arrival: the upkeep calendar
Your passport, your driving licence, the tax return before 1 May, your DigiD: what keeps coming back from the Netherlands afterwards, on your dates and in your own calendar.

For comparison
What an agency charges, and what this costs
An emigration agency takes it over from you. For some people that's the right choice, but most of what you pay for is work that comes down to organising.
- An emigration agency
- € 3,000 – € 9,000
- per journey, and you stay dependent. The quote of well over € 9,000 where this began is on the About page.
- A Vertrekklaar step-by-step plan
- € 199 – € 499
- one-off, per destination. The overview an agency keeps in its head, written out step by step — you file yourself.
Pricing questions
What people ask about the price
What does it cost?
€ 199 when no visa is needed (EU and EEA). € 299 without a visa but with a settlement journey (the Caribbean part of the Kingdom, Switzerland). € 399 when a visa or permit is needed. € 499 with a points system, skills assessment and language test (Australia, Canada, New Zealand). Pay once, per destination. Pay with iDEAL or card.
Why four prices?
Because the work differs. A move to Spain is mostly the Dutch side and a registration; emigrating to Australia starts months earlier with points, a skills assessment and a language test, and each of those steps has its own deadline. One price for both would have the Spain buyer pay for watching they don't need.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once and keep access for your whole journey. If the rules change, your plan changes with them; you don't pay again for that.
What if I switch countries?
A plan is for one destination. If it turns out to be another country after all, email info@vertrekklaar.nl; Auke will look at what's best with you. That's done by hand for now, not with a button.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes, with a gift code. Removal companies and estate agents hand them out with a signed order; the recipient redeems the code at vertrekklaar.nl/cadeau and picks their country. If you'd like to give someone a plan yourself, email info@vertrekklaar.nl.
Can I buy as a business?
Yes. Every purchase comes with a VAT invoice by email, and our VAT identification number is at the bottom of every page. If you want several plans for your staff or clients, email us; that works through gift codes.
