The seagulls signed Veltman by triggering a release clause in his contract, paying Ajax just over £900,000.
"We're delighted to welcome Joel to the club. He has terrific experience from his time with Ajax including the Champions League and, of course, with the Dutch national team," Brighton head coach Graham Potter said.
Veltman made his Ajax debut in 2012 and has been with the club for 19 years, having come through the club's academy system.
He has made more than 200 appearances for the Dutch giants, scoring ten goals. He has won four Eredivisie titles and played regularly in the Champions League.
He has won 22 caps for his country, the most recent in November when he helped Netherlands qualify for Euro 2021 with a goalless draw against Northern Ireland in Belfast.
The 28-year-old Netherlands
international, who can play in central defence or as a right-back, has joined
the club on a three-year contract.
