DAFT renewal update along with my plan for permanent residency or Citizenship in the Netherlands.

In this video I talk about my DAFT (Dutch American Friendship Treaty) renewal after two years of being in the Netherlands. I cover the process as well as timing from initial notification from the IND that we can renew along with what I needed to provide to start the renewal. I also talk about my adult dependent being renewed for an additional 5 years as well as how difficult it is to start and maintain a business here. The 21 months from arrival in May 2024 to our renewal were a difficult time and I share some about that too. Lastly, I talk briefly about our move to the west this summer. My timeline for the DAFT Renewal: Renewal opened: 22/02/2026 Documents submitted: 28/02/2026 Biometrics: 12/03/2026 Applications accepted: 17/03/2026 Renewal approved: 20/04/2026 My new YouTube channel all about my 2026 Volkswagen ID.
