They say: The Expat Centre Leiden provides a warm welcome to expats who live and work in the Leiden region. We will help you find answers to questions about the issues you will deal with when settling in the Netherlands. Our dedicated expat officers will answer your questions and offer you advice on a wide range of topics.

The Expat Centre website is an extremely useful resource for information about all the necessary dull stuff of living here – tax, insurance, documentation etc. Emailing is often the best option for queries as it gives the staff time to research your question fully, but you can also ring or turn up during opening times (check website first).

For some things, such as information about and applications for travel documentation, driving licences and citizenship, it's better to go to the special Citizenship and Taxes Information Desk in the gemeentehuis (Town hall). Ring 14071 (or from abroad +31 71 516 5165) Monday–Friday between 09.00 and 16.00 and make an appointment, which will be during office hours or Thursday evening. Do not just show up as they can only help by appointment.
