The Dutch government and municipalities (gemeentes) support these forums, joining the panels and answering questions about the impact of the UK leaving the EU. UK Nationals have rights and responsibilities when living in the Netherlands. One consistent piece of advice the Dutch government has given is ensuring you are registered with your gemeente (local municipality), using your current address. The Dutch government is planning to write to UK Nationals on or near the 29 March 2019.
The meetings provide an opportunity to update you on the latest developments as the UK prepares to leave the EU.
The following meetings have been held, and further events, will be announced here and on our Facebook page. If you want to be updated by email, please subscribe by emailing ukinnl@fco.gov.uk.
