Netherlands limits RNI registration for third-country nationals to two locations

The Dutch government recently reduced the number of Registration Desks for non-residents (RNI desks) available to third-country nationals (i.e., non-EU, non-EEA and non-Swiss nationals). From this date, impacted individuals will only be able to register at two RNI locations: Breda and Venlo. This measure aims to centralize expertise in document verification, strengthen identity checks and support authorities in addressing illegal employment, exploitation and human trafficking.
