Payse as IND authorised sponsor
in the Netherlands

Looking for an IND recognised referent in the Netherlands to start working as a knowledge migrant? Or as an employer looking for help with IND procedures in the Netherlands? Then we would like to welcome you at PAYSE and help you with this. 

In our IND referent role, we at PAYSE arrange everything involved in: 

  • Applying for a visa
  • Payroll
  • Contracts
  • Onboarding

In other words; we are responsible for total unburdening of both knowledge migrants and employers. 

With PAYSE as IND contact Netherlands, you as a highly skilled migrant or employer no longer have to think about anything. We take all the administrative hassle and complicated procedures off your hands, so you can be sure that everything is taken care of properly in one go.

What is a IND recognised referent?

An IND recognised referent is an organisation (such as PAYSE) that has received approval from the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) to bring knowledge migrants to the Netherlands, among other things. As the IND sees an IND approved referent as a ‘reliable partner’, this results in much faster and more efficient IND procedures (e.g. arranging a visa).

As an expat, this allows you to come to the Netherlands much faster and arrange everything around your new job, while as an employer you will be able to recruit foreign talent a lot faster. 

Difference between applying to IND yourself and through IND recognised sponsor

There are some major differences between applying IND yourself and arranging it all through an IND approved sponsor. Consider, for example: 

  • Duration of IND procedures in the Netherlands: The duration is one of the biggest differences between applying to the IND yourself and arranging this via an IND recognised sponsor. The processing time is often a lot shorter (2 to 3 weeks instead of 90+ days), mainly because the procedure itself has a larger number of steps when you are not a recognised sponsor.
  • Administration: As a second point, more documentation is also required. As a result, it not only takes more time but also involves more administration. Unlike when an IND referent like PAYSE takes care of this for you, you now have to do it all yourself.

Would you rather choose the faster, more efficient route via PAYSE? Then schedule an appointment right away and take advantage of our IND contact options!

Registration with Payse as IND authorised sponsor

At PAYSE, we make it as easy as possible for you to register with the IND as a long-standing IND approved referent. Within a few steps, we thus ensure that your IND registration in the Netherlands is arranged: 

  1. Contact PAYSE (as a knowledge migrant or employer looking for talent)
  2. Intake & eligibility check 
  3. PAYSE submits accelerated application to IND on your behalf 
  4. Contract guidance and payroll
  5. Start working

     

Thus, within a few shortened, simplified steps, it is already possible to arrange everything at once through PAYSE and have the IND registration in the Netherlands as a knowledge migrant or employer in order. Start with step 1 yourself and we will take care of the rest!

IND referent role: What are the responsibilities of a sponsor?

  • IND applications (including arranging residence permit)
  • Arranging employment (contracts, terms of employment, etc.)
  • Paying wages
  • Report important changes in employment with the IND
  • Duty of care

     

Basically, at PAYSE, we assist knowledge migrants from A to Z before, during and after employment. This way, a knowledge migrant always meets the conditions of stay and is completely relieved of worries.

How Payse the entire process settles

At PAYSE, complete care really is complete care. This means that we take care of the entire process from A to Z for highly skilled migrants who want to work in the Netherlands. 

PAYSE is recognised IND sponsor

As a recognised IND sponsor, we at PAYSE are a trusted partner of the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) in the Netherlands. This enables us to bring knowledge migrants from outside the EU to the Netherlands as quickly as possible in full compliance with Dutch legislation. This includes: 

  • Complete immigration procedure arrangements (including. visa sponsorship)
  • Becoming legal employer of knowledge migrant (salary administration + assumption of employer risks)
  • Ongoing compliance with the IND

Contract & payroll through PAYSE

Since PAYSE is the legal employer of the knowledge migrants, this includes everything related to contracts and payroll. 

For instance, we draw up the employment contracts, pay the wages and take care of all mandatory (salary) administration around the knowledge migrant working in the Netherlands. 

Where an actual employer arranges the day-to-day management and planning, PAYSE always assumes full legal employment of the knowledge migrant. 

Apply for visa & residence permit

A visa and residence permit are crucial for a knowledge migrant. PAYSE does the official, expedited application with the IND, collects all the necessary documents and ensures compliance with all the legal and administrative obligations you have further as a knowledge migrant or employer. 

30% ruling & taxation

As a legal employer of knowledge migrants, we at PAYSE also provide applying the 30% scheme by paying out part of the salary tax-free. This will leave you with more net pay as a knowledge migrant. 

There are a number of conditions attached to this 30% ruling, which of course we at PAYSE always check carefully to make sure we are always fully compliant with the legal requirements in terms of regulation with taxes.  

Continuous support

Moreover, our work is by no means over when the onboarding is settled. At PAYSE, we provide ongoing support for knowledge migrants. This includes: 

  • Taking care of any contract extensions
  • Maintaining the entire (payroll) administration from start to finish
  • Providing the IND with relevant updates (e.g. termination of position)

With this, we are always ready for our knowledge migrants and employers to guarantee the necessary compliance & support from start to finish!

As a knowledge migrant or organisation, do you decide to opt for a partnership with PAYSE? Then this is what our total care from start to finish will look like:

  1. Intake & eligibility check
  2. Payroll via PAYSE
  3. IND application (via PAYSE as IND approved referent)
  4. Starting work + onboarding (full onboarding support)
  5. Ongoing compliance & support
