Finance
Information about finance for Ukrainian refugees.
Special costs
Refugees who do not have enough money to pay for necessary costs can sometimes be reimbursed for these costs. This concerns certain necessary costs that cannot be paid in any other way (such as living allowance or income from work). These can be costs for travel, sudden medical reasons or costs for school transport for children of compulsory school age. More information can be found on the page Special costs for refugees from Ukraine (in Dutch).
Living allowance
If you do not have enough money to live on, you can apply for a living allowance. Depending on where you are staying, you can receive a living allowance for food and beverages, housing allowance and/or for personal expenses such as clothing. More information can be found on the page Living Allowance for Refugees from Ukraine.
Bank Account
You will need a Dutch bank account to receive your living allowance. You can start applying for your account in advance. You can find information about opening a bank account via the website www.refugeehelp.nl.
Registration of BRP
It is necessary for you to register with the Basic Registration of Persons (Basis Registratie Personen, BRP). Registration is necessary to open a bank account and to receive a living allowance. Not yet registered? In that case, make an appointment dialing 0297 38 75 75. Read more about this on the page about Registration and Residence.
