● STOURC · RELOCATION SUPPORT
From lost
to local.
Moving to the Netherlands is exciting. Figuring everything out can feel like a lot. We help international students and newcomers make sense of the practical steps and feel at home sooner.
A little more local, every dayTHE FIRST WEEKS
A new country.
A hundred new questions.
Where should you start? What does a BSN do? How do you find a room, register with your municipality, arrange insurance or open a bank account? Those questions are normal. You do not have to untangle them alone.
Stourc offers personal guidance so you can understand the process, prioritise what matters, and make your own confident decisions.
Small questions add up
- What should I prepare before I arrive?
- Which tasks depend on having an address?
- Who can explain the local process?
- How do I find my people in a new city?
