The 6ft 8in goalkeeper, whose contract details as well as the fee paid by Brighton are undisclosed, had two years remaining on his deal at Ajax.
"We see him as a player with a lot of the right attributes," said Brighton boss Graham Potter.
"As well as his size he is someone we think will work very hard to improve all aspects of his game as he gets used to English football."
