Balance Sheet for DAFT Visa Applications
Are you applying for a Dutch American Friendship Treaty (DAFT) visa? Cardon & Company provides opening balance sheets to help American entrepreneurs meet the financial documentation requirements of the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND).
The €4,500 DAFT Investment Requirement
To qualify for the DAFT visa, American entrepreneurs generally need to invest at least €4,500 in their Dutch business. This is not a fee paid to the Dutch government. The money remains yours, but must be invested in your business and maintained as business capital.
For most applicants, this means depositing €4,500 into a business bank account registered in the name of their Dutch company. The investment must be documented through an opening balance sheet and supported by a business bank statement.
Under the IND's official requirements, financial supporting documents must be verified by an independent financial professional, such as a bookkeeper or accountant.
Opening Balance Sheet by Cardon & Company
Cardon & Company can provide you with an opening balance sheet documenting your €4,500 investment for submission to the IND.
Our balance sheet service is available as a one-off service, meaning you do not need to sign up for ongoing bookkeeping or accounting.
We also provide balance sheets for Japanese entrepreneurs applying under the Dutch-Japanese Trade Treaty, which has similar investment and documentation requirements.
For more information about the application procedure, read our complete DAFT visa guide.
