Can I submit a Wlz application to the CIZ from abroad?

If you are planning to move (or move back) to the Netherlands, you can usually already submit an application from abroad. It depends on the country where you live and where you are insured, however. The Netherlands has reached agreement with a number of countries on medical care (among other things). We call these ‘treaty countries’. Do you live in a treaty country? Then you can already submit an application from that country, unless you work (or used to work) for an international organization established in the Netherlands. Do you not live in a treaty country but you do have Dutch health insurance? Then you can already submit an application as well. Do you not live in a treaty country and you do not have Dutch health insurance either? Then you cannot submit an application from abroad. "
