Relocating to the Netherlands? Plans to move here? ACCESS, a local not-for-profit organisation, managed by volunteers – who moved here themselves – is here to help. Our website has many FAQs, but for the ones it does not, do send your questions to helpdesk[at]access-nl.org. We answer any questions you have about moving to, living in and leaving the Netherlands. Questions internationals have when navigating new circumstances, while living here.
ACCESS has been helping internationals for more than 35 years, free of charge. Our teams, like you, are internationals who also had questions. Now, they are here, for you.

Recognition gives strength
The Schadefonds Geweldsmisdrijven gives financial compensation to people who have become a victim of a violent- or sexual crime resulting in serious psychological or physical injuries. By compensating the damages suffered, the Schadefonds acknowledges that the victims have been wronged. In this way, the Schadefonds contributes to restore confidence.
Application
Are you a victim of a violent- or sexual crime and did you suffer injuries as a result? Or did a close relative of yours die as a result of an intentional violent crime? If so, then you can file an application for compensation with the Schadefonds Geweldsmisdrijven. This is partial compensation for your injuries (pain and suffering) and for any financial damages you suffered, such as medical expenses or a loss of income due to incapacity for work.
Victim Support Netherlands is there for you
All victims of crimes, traffic accidents or disasters deserve support. Every year we help hundreds of thousands of victims and surviving relatives. We can provide emotional support, help you get compensation for you damages, and support you in the criminal justice process. We will help you when you want it, in a way that suits you. Our services are always free.
