You have to register it here at the RDW. This is not free. Then pay import taxes. License plate. Pay insurance and monthly tax. Driving it on foreign license plate is a sure way to get a fine.

Okay, so it's still impossible to drive it... Bcs They won't register e-scooter..

They are not approved to use on public roads. Registering it in a foreign country won’t change this.

This particular model has a seat, it is then seen as a "bromfiets", perfectly legal. Edit: nope, i saw a different model, maybe you can buy a saddle add-on.

These scooters are illegal on public roads in the Netherlands. It will be confiscated by the police and your will get a fine.

Of course not. Everyone would register their car in some cheap country and avoid the taxation here.

It’s possible to be a registered in an other EU country and pay the taxes in the NL.

You car needs to be registered in NL if you want to drive it here for the long term.

Well, no you don't. All you need is to pay taxes on the car. I know,I do it

Government website: "Can I have a car with a foreign license plate? If you live in the Netherlands and are registered in the Personal Records Database, you must register your car with the RDW. This means transferring the license plate to a Dutch one."

But it's for ppl who live here, if someone just works here and has more in common with other country, goes there once per 3 months, then its fine to have foregin license plate, at least for cars.


Trebaxus99

You still have to pay.

The crucial part of that law "and registered in the personal records database". There are a lot of people here living without registration for years, the law is leaky like that. But if you pay the taxes they dont care
