When your partner is in Amsterdam and you can't be

Few things are harder than doubting the person you love while being unable to see anything yourself, because you live abroad, because the relationship spans countries, or because every trip to Amsterdam has become harder to explain. SAJ Recherche is a private investigation agency licensed by the Dutch Ministry of Justice and based in Amsterdam. We work with international and expat clients who need certainty about a partner here: discreet surveillance, factual evidence, and a clear report in English. Either we confirm what you fear, or we let you put the doubt to rest. Either way, you can move forward.

Do you recognise this?

  • ✗ Your partner is in Amsterdam and you are abroad, unable to see anything yourself
  • ✗ The trips to Amsterdam or through Schiphol have become harder to explain
  • ✗ You need certainty fast, before the uncertainty costs you more
  • ✗ You want a licensed, discreet agency, not an amateur with a camera
  • ✗ You need evidence that actually holds up, not rumours or guesswork

What we can establish for you

Surveillance & discreet observation

Our investigators follow and document your partner's real movements in Amsterdam and the wider Randstad: where they go, how long they stay and who they meet. Every observation is logged with times, locations and, where possible, photographic evidence.

Who they really meet

We establish whether the colleague, friend or business contact is what they claim to be. We confirm identities, the nature of the contact and how often it happens, facts, not assumptions.

A second life or hidden relationship

When a partner maintains a double life there is almost always a pattern: a recurring address, a second phone, unexplained spending, repeated trips. We map that pattern and document it objectively.

Schiphol & travel verification

Is the business trip to Amsterdam real? We can verify arrivals and departures, hotel stays and movements around Schiphol and the city, useful when a partner travels internationally and the trip itself is the cover story.

Digital & open-source (OSINT) investigation

Within strict legal limits we examine public sources, social media and digital traces that confirm or contradict your partner's account. We never hack phones or use unlawful tracking, only evidence that holds up.

Photographic & video evidence

Where the situation allows, we secure dated photographic and video material. Combined with a written report, this is the kind of concrete proof lawyers and courts take seriously.

Stop guessing. Get the facts.

A free, confidential consultation, wherever you are in the world.

Built for clients who can't be here themselves

Most of our partner-investigation clients are not standing in Amsterdam. They are abroad, travelling, or living here as expats, and they all need the same thing: someone local, discreet and trustworthy.

You live abroad

Your partner is in Amsterdam, you are not

You are in the US, the UK, the Gulf or anywhere else, and your partner lives, works or studies in Amsterdam. Distance makes doubt unbearable because you cannot see anything yourself. We become your eyes on the ground, a licensed Dutch agency acting locally and reporting to you in English wherever you are.

The business trip

Your partner travels through Schiphol

The trips to Amsterdam have become more frequent, longer, harder to explain. When the journey itself is the cover story, we can verify whether the business trip is real, the movements around Schiphol, the hotel, the evenings, and tell you what is actually happening.

Expat in Amsterdam

You live here, but the system is foreign

You moved to Amsterdam together, or you are building a life here, and something has changed. Navigating a Dutch investigation in a second language is daunting. We work entirely in English, understand the expat reality, and handle everything discreetly and lawfully.

Words cannot express how professional and excellent John's work was. We hired him to prove a case of infidelity, and his expertise exceeded all our expectations. Everything was done with precision and speed. From the moment we contacted him he gave us the confidence we needed during a very difficult time for our family. He is a true professional and a wonderful person. Thank you John for your dedication to our case. Our family is eternally grateful.

How quickly can the investigation start?
In urgent cases we can start within 24 hours of the intake, depending on the scope and on your partner's movements.
My partner travels to Amsterdam or through Schiphol. Can you verify that?
Yes. When the trip itself is the cover story, we can verify movements around Schiphol Airport, hotel stays and activities in Amsterdam, and document whether the stated reason matches reality.
Will my partner find out they are being investigated?
We minimise that risk. Our investigators are trained in covert observation, and discretion is the foundation of everything we do.
Is the evidence legally usable?
Yes. SAJ Recherche is a private investigation agency licensed by the Dutch Ministry of Justice (POB 8779). Our reports meet the standard Dutch lawyers and courts require and are regularly used in divorce, alimony and custody proceedings, as well as to support proceedings abroad.
