What is Welcome app?

Imagine trying to build a new life in a foreign country – from scratch. Where do you start? Accessing information can be difficult, you don’t speak the language yet, and you don’t know how to connect with new people. Many newcomers in the Netherlands face these challenges.

Welcome app makes building that new life easier. We bring together relevant information, activities, services and local organisations on one platform: the Welcome app. We support municipalities in their tasks and provide newcomers with access to opportunities, contact and control over their own future.
