Moving to the Netherlands - The Residence Permit

• a valid passport or other valid travel document;
• sufficient means of support;
• a certificate of medical insurance 

The following reasons for residence are considered as a stay pursuant to the EC Treaty:

• Work;
• Study;
• Economic inactivity;
• Stay as a family member of an EU national.

Even if you do not need a residence document (period of stay < 3 months), it may still be useful to have a declaration of registration with the IND - Immigratie en Naturalisatiedienst (Immigration and Naturalisation Service). Organisations such as the Tax and Customs Administration and banks may request this.
