Frequently asked questions · 5
How long does it take to get a BSN?
Usually 1–4 weeks after the gemeente appointment. Faster in some cities (Utrecht, The Hague), slower in larger ones (Amsterdam). Book the appointment 2–3 weeks in advance.
Can I register as ZZP without a Dutch address?
No. KvK requires a BSN, which requires BRP registration at a real address. Temporary hotel addresses are not accepted.
Is refugee assistance taxable?
Leefgeld (€68/week) is not taxable. For other allowances, check with a lawyer — email hi@uadopomoga.eu and we will connect you with our adviser.
How do I delete my data completely?
Go to Settings → Danger zone → "Delete account permanently". All data is removed within 30 days; the email is freed up for a new registration.
Can I use Dopomoga from outside NL?
Yes. The site works from any country. Calculators are NL-oriented, but the rest of the content is useful for refugees in BE, DE, and other EU countries.
