The Hague International Centre

The Hague International Centre is a joint initiative between the Municipality of The Hague, the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) and ACCESS. It is the first point of contact for (new) residents of The Hague and has been created especially for the expatriate who is working and living in The Hague.

Expat information

The Hague International Centre offers a welcome package to new arrivals and forms a point of contact between individual expats and the municipality. It provides information on the services provided by various municipal departments (parking permits, marriages, registration of birth, converting driving licenses, rubbish collection etc.). The centre also supplies basic information on areas including health care and education, for example.

Welcome to The Hague programme

The Hague International Centre offers the 'Welcome to The Hague' programme six times a year. The morning is organised to help give you a better understanding of The Hague and is an opportunity to expand your network of contacts and meet other members of the international community. The best part of the programme is naturally the guided tour through the city historic centre.

Please contact us for an invitation to the next ‘Welcome to The Hague’ programme.

Here you can look at a slideshow from the 'Welcome to The Hague' morning.

Expatservice

The Expatservice offers an expedited service for highly-skilled migrants who are registered with the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service under the highly-skilled migrant scheme. Highly-skilled migrants can make an appointment with the Expatservice themselves or via their employers for faster registration in the municipal database (GBA) and to receive a Burgerservicenummer (BSN). This accelerated service allows expat employees to start their jobs more quickly.

Residents and visitors

The Hague International Centre is not only for the international community in The Hague. Other residents and visitors to the city can come to the centre for more information about the International City of Peace and Justice. One of the facilities available is an interactive screen where you can find information about the various international institutions and organisations located in The Hague.

The Hague International Centre aims to make your time in The Hague comfortable and enjoyable. We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful city.
