This varies by municipality. In Amsterdam it takes an average of 3–5 working days. In Haarlem the application is usually processed within 2–3 working days. We recommend arranging the permit at least a week in advance, so we have time to coordinate everything properly with the municipality.

Yes, you can, but the process is often time-consuming and error-prone. An incomplete application can lead to delays or even rejection. That’s why many customers prefer to leave this to us. We know exactly what each municipality needs and submit the application correctly right away.
