How is it to apply for the DTV in the Netherlands as a Dutch citizen? What is the process there?

Since the new rule I will have to change my plan of applying in Vietnam to going back home to apply from there. I got rejected once a like 6 months ago in Vietnam and will re apply in about 3 months.
Answer summary
The process for applying for the DTV in the Netherlands has become stricter. Dutch citizens are advised to apply through the official website, and one key requirement now includes obtaining a VOG (Certificate of Good Conduct) from the municipality to prove a clean criminal record. Gather necessary documentation such as financial statements and a clear plan for their stay in Thailand, as they may be scrutinized during the application process. Experiences shared in the community suggest that having proper documentation is crucial for approval, and an interview may also be part of the application process.

I was approved 3 months ago from there. Make sure you're paperwork is legit. That's the most important thing. A lot of people complaining here don't have proper paperwork hence they get rejected.

I've applied with my address registration from the gemeente, which you already know where to request that from. I had my self employment business registration from Kvk and also uploaded bank statements from my ZZP'er bank account and also the invoices I issued to my clients in order to show that I own a proper business.

I was invited to an interview and he asked a couple of normal questions related to my work.

I got approved 3 days later and all in all the whole process took about 3 weeks.

Just make sure your paperwork is legit and you won't have any issues.

You apply on the same website, the difference is you now first should get a VOG at municipality to proof you don't have a criminal history.

I applied in 2024 for the soft power muay thai dtv and it was quite easy. I was also invited for an interview. They asked me what I was planning to do there and how often I would train. Just simple questions.

MuaythaiSamui123 I would advice to not take the 6 months course but a longer one if you planning to do the soft power one.
