Joost, I really appreciate your response. I have sought out the assistance of a few attorneys but I will also take a look at contacting the IND directly. Not being versed in legal language or tax law I think a lawyer may be the best first line for questioning. Thank you again! Heather

I have a question about the DAFT business formation in the Netherlands. I was reading this on an immigration attorney's website: My question is this — My company is very established here in the US. I am an employee of my company. I’m taxed as an S-Corp here and run my pay through a payroll service. Am I able to register part of my business there and deposit the € 4,500 required and maintain the main business formation and in the US? I'm an LLC taxed in the US under an S-Corp. I would like to move to the Netherlands with my family for a few years but maintain my business operations in the United States. All of our clients are US clients. Since I don't speak dutch I wouldn't actively be seeking dutch marketing clients so our operations & client base will remain in the US. As the owner of the company though I would like to move and do my work in the Netherlands and live there with my family. I have read some on the business.gov.nl website that I may be able to register as a foreign company such as an LLC from the US. I just want to know what my legal and tax obligations will be before making our final decision to move on the DAFT opportunity or if I have to use a different visa option entirely. Essentially it comes down to this... Can I maintain my business formation in the US, pay my business taxes in the USA and pay my personal income taxes in the Netherlands while filing returns in both locations? Business -- taxed in the United States Personal -- taxed in the Netherlands If doing this am I still eligible to apply for the DAFT? Thank you, Heather
