Expats tell me they greatly value the services we provide here. It is of course utterly convenient to have a one stop registration facility arriving in a new country."

Her collaegue-deputy mayor René van Hemert of Rijswijk (economy, regional planning): "Rijswijk is a hospitable city for its expats.
