​​Probably every person who hasn't thought about the Netherlands for a long time could tell you at least a fact or two. Loves football, cycles more than walks, uses renewable energy, open-minded, grows tulips, the tallest nation in the world... the list goes on and on. And have you ever wondered how the Dutch see foreigners coming to their country? Cultural differences are everywhere, but it's a good idea to take a closer look when preparing for life in a foreign country, so that you don't end up in awkward situations you could have easily avoided.

In the Netherlands, all foreigners can buy a home, live here permanently, or have a second home when you work here and live in another country. This means that it is not necessary to sell housing in your home country. You can just rent your house. Buying a home in the Netherlands can be a smart investment, and you will also have property benefits.
