You can receive a BSN if you plan on living in the Netherlands. You can book a BSN registration appointment with Leiden International Centre if you live in Leiden, Leiderdorp, Voorschoten, or Zoeterwoude. One of the things you will need to do is to find a place to register at - usually this has to be a residential address that you have a rental contract for, but in some circumstances it can be a friend or family member's address, or even your employer's address. However, in all cases you will need to bring proof that you either live at the address or have permission to register there. You can learn more about which documents are needed, and how to make an appointment, on our BSN Registration page.
