It's time for another Internationals Get-Together. This time in Amersfoort! Are you new in town or around for a while and do you want to meet fellow internationals? Join this free networking event on Thursday 25 January 2024 at the brewery De Drie Ringen, nicely located next to the historical Koppelpoort in the old city town. Come alone or bring some friends and get a warm welcome.

Find more information about the visa and its benefits, and check whether you are eligible for the visa on our website.
Our UR-Glocal ambassadors have a lot of exciting events for internationals planned in 2024. Expect a Dutch language cafe, pub quiz, crafternoon, and movie night coming soon. These events are free and great fun. They are also a nice opportunity to meet some new people. Keep an eye out on their Facebook and Instagram channel to not miss the event announcements. And we hope to welcome many of you there.
