Country context
Wet toeristische verhuur van woonruimte enables municipal registration, night caps with meldplicht, and permits. Amsterdam requires a registratienummer, vakantieverhuurvergunning, advance night reporting, 30 nights citywide (15 in eight designated wijken from 1 Apr 2026), max 4 guests, and 12.5% toeristenbelasting. Rotterdam/Utrecht: registration + 60 nights + meldplicht; Den Haag: permit + 30 nights.
Remote arrival works when municipal registration/permit and remaining night budget are already in order and guest-party details plus house rules are captured before access. Night caps and permit conditions are not waived by digital check-in.
