Foreign entrepreneur living in the Netherlands? Vixx helps you towards your Dutch home

If you’re an entrepreneur living in the Netherlands, there’s often more possible than you think. Whether you’ve brought your business from abroad or you’re already living here as a foreign national, you might be eligible for a mortgage.

As long as you’ve been self-employed for at least two years, we’ll help you explore your options and will advise you towards the best independent deal for your mortgage.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. If you have EU/EEA nationality and a permanent employment contract in the Netherlands, you can use your full income when applying for a mortgage.

Yes. If you are a director and major shareholder of a Dutch private limited company with at least 3 years of stable annual figures (or 2 with a history of salaried employment), you can have your income assessed with an income statement. Please note: customization is always possible if you have less than 3 years of financial statements and/or have a foreign entity in combination with a Dutch entity. This must be assessed on a case-by-case basis, so it is not a definitive no if you do not meet the standard conditions.

In the Netherlands, it is perfectly common to request a letter of intent from HR. They will provide you with this, and we will use it for the mortgage application.

Yes, provided that certain conditions are met. If you are a highly skilled migrant with a temporary residence permit (type I), and when:

  • You have been working for 0 months
  • You have a letter of intent
  • And the 30% ruling has been confirmed by your employer

Then your income may be grossed up by a factor of 100/70 for the assessment.

Yes. Both incomes may be included, provided that:

  • They are structural and stable
  • The non-euro income is well substantiated with supporting documents
  • And there is no excessive currency risk

Again, the same applies: first convert to euros and then deduct 10%.

In the Netherlands, you do not need a credit score, as is the case in the United States, for example. In fact, the less debt you have, the easier it is to arrange your mortgage.

Yes. Swiss nationality is treated as equivalent to EU nationality. With a temporary 12-month contract and a letter of intent from your employer, you can have your full income taken into account.

Yes, provided it is stable. Income in foreign currency is accepted if:

  • The currency is stable and a 10% discount is applied after conversion to euros
  • You provide at least 3-6 months of bank statements
  • And the income is structural

Yes, under certain conditions. If your partner has a permanent residence permit and your income is not needed for the mortgage, you may participate as a co-applicant with only a temporary residence permit.

Then you can only use the 30% ruling if your employment contract shows that you will retain the same gross salary after it expires. If your income will be lower, this must be taken into account in the application.

Yes. As long as your partner has EU nationality and provides the assessment income, you can participate in the mortgage application. You will then only need a valid residence permit.
