The go-to language services agency for expats

FOCUS Vertaalbureau is the go-to agency in the Netherlands for language services for expats. We are happy to share with you our 30 years of experience . Our experienced team of interpreters, sworn translators and language trainers are ready and willing to help you to get settled in the Netherlands by arranging the nessecary translations, help you with formal meetings with authorities, support you when at the notary to buy a property, and help you learn the Dutch language (including Dutch cultural communication aspects).

We help you with the translation of documents that you may need for official purposes - for instance for the municipality, the IND, the notary public, school or university. We provide (sworn) translations from English into Dutch (but also from other languages). When required, we also provide an apostille or legalisation.

Do you need an interpreter? For example, for a hearing or at the notary's office? FOCUS helps you with this. The interpreter prepares meticulously for the appointment, consults with you in advance where necessary and assists you during the appointment.

FOCUS has been providing language courses for English-speaking expats since 1994. Learn to speak and write Dutch quickly and well with one of our courses. Our courses last 8 or 13 weeks and are very practical in nature.

Are you a highly skilld migrant? BlueStone is here to help you. Bluestone employs you, handles you IND application along with any additional services that may be needed. Once the IND has issued the permit, Bluestone takes care of the payroll for you on behalf of their client, the company that you are working for.

Are you in need of a roof over your head? GDY Housing is here to help. The professionals of GDY Housing, headed by Dov Sabo, understand better than anyone how important it is to feel at home, especially when you are an expat moving to a new city. Dov and his team, consisting of former expats, is dedicated to ensuring that your search for a rental property in Amsterdam is an enjoyable experience and smoothly delivering your new home.

Caroline Pinter guides expats in their integration process, so that they quickly feel at home both at work and in their daily life in the Netherlands. She helps you (and your family) overcome cultural differences and personal challenges, so that you can start enjoying your work and new life in the Netherlands.
