Pararius Rental Platform and RSH Launch new Expat Guide

“The Ultimate Guide for Expats Moving to and Living in the Netherlands”

May 30 - Rotterdam

The rental platform Pararius, in collaboration with RSH Relocation and Immigration Services, is launching a new blog specifically for expats moving to or recently relocated to the Netherlands. The articles published on the English version of the platform (pararius.com) are designed to help expats land and settle in the Netherlands. As a result, the Pararius Expat Guide is now live.

"The idea of designing a blog for expats had been around for a while," says Jasper de Groot, Director of Pararius. "We noticed that expats are not well informed about the current situation in the Dutch housing market, which leads to a lot of frustration among this group. There was also confusion about how housing allocation works here. As an individual in a new country where you don't speak the language, it can be quite challenging to understand how things work," says De Groot.

Collaboration between Pararius and RSH: A Synergy of Expertise

The collaboration between RSH and Pararius was born out of a shared ambition to create the Expat Guide. De Groot: "For us, it was very important that we could help expats with accurate and relevant information. While we at Pararius know a lot about the housing market, we do not have the knowledge about how to, for example, register as an expat in the Netherlands. Therefore, we wanted to bring in an expert in relocation, and that's how things started moving."

The Importance of a Comprehensive Expat Guide

For RSH, the Expat Guide was also a great way to share their knowledge. "We have experienced for some time that finding an all-encompassing online guide for expats moving to or wishing to settle in the Netherlands requires quite a bit of searching," says Veronique Haverhals, owner and managing director of RSH. "Many topics are covered separately in various online magazines and media, making it difficult for expats to find basic answers to their questions about moving to the Netherlands. We also hear this often from the clients RSH works with. Therefore, we decided to share our knowledge on a relevant platform like Pararius. The mutual enthusiasm for connecting and sharing knowledge was an important driving force from the first contact," says Haverhals.

The Pararius Expat Guide is now live on the international version of the platform www.pararius.com. Currently, there are about 15 relevant articles on the platform, all with substantive knowledge on relevant topics for expats in the Netherlands.

In the future, the Expat Guide will be expanded with more relevant topics and tools to help expats make a smooth transition to life in the Netherlands.
