Registration for non-residents a.k.a temporary BSN

Question

Hi. I’ve just heard there is an option to get a temporary BSN using my address from the outside of the Netherlands. Apparently, that’s something that’s available to the EU citizens only, provided you want to stay in the Netherlands for less than 4 months. Has anyone tried it? Is it then hard to change this non-resident registration to the resident one, once I have an address in the Netherlands?

It seems like a much faster way to get a BSN as it doesn’t require me to have a Dutch address straight away.
