AFM

Investment firms with their registered office in Australia, the United States or Switzerland are exempt from the requirement to obtain a license in the Netherlands.

However to offer investment services in the Netherlands  a  registration is required. To be registered it is required that:

• the provision of the investment services is subject to supervision by a supervisory body in the country of the firm's registered office;
• a certificate of supervised status from the supervisory body is submitted to the AFM prior to the provision of investment services in the Netherlands.
