US citizens are legally permitted to arrive in the 
Netherlands as tourists, 'and then look for work while 
they're there. However, nobody can work legally in 
the Netherlands, without a social -fiscal, SOFI, 
number: yet, the Tax Office won't issue a SOFI 
number to non -EU nationals without a residence 
permit, and the Aliens' Police won't issue the permit 
to anyone without a SOFI number. These regulations 
are designed to make things difficult, but there do 
seem to be ways around them. If you can find an 
employer who will give both the Tax Office and the 
Aliens' Police a written statement to say that you 
alone are the right person to do the job, you may be 
granted a residence permit and a SOFI number. 
Otherwise, apart from marrying a Dutch citizen, 
there is little you can do legally to establish yourself 
there.
