Startup Visa Application Support
Non-EU founders who wish to start a business in the Netherlands are required to obtain a Startup Visa in order to live and work in the country. Frank & the Backs is officially recognized by the Dutch authorities as a facilitator and provides support to founders throughout the entire application process – from eligibility assessment to submission and follow-up.
Participation in a recognized startup program – in our case, the Next Valley program – is essential to qualify for the visa.
