Apply for work permit Netherlands

Information about applying for a work permit in the Netherlands is in high demand. This has everything to do with the fact that many employers are in need of foreign talent. They are looking for specific expertise that people from abroad have, as they have completed a certain education. 

A work permit is then required to work in the Netherlands with the employer in question.

How to apply for work permits as an employer
in the Netherlands for knowledge migrants?

In the Netherlands, there is a certain application process that allows you to apply for a work permit for an expat or knowledge immigrant. To keep this entire application process as clear as possible, we at Payse take you through this process step by step. 

On a daily basis, we make sure that, as an employer, you know how to apply for such a work permit as quickly as possible and in the most efficient way.

Broadly speaking, we do this using the following steps:

1. IND obtain recognition as a sponsor

Step 1 is always as an employer to first ensure that you are recognised by the IND as a sponsor. To this end, you must meet certain conditions (e.g. be financially stable), collect the right documents (e.g. proof of registration in the Chamber of Commerce) and then submit the application. If you are a highly skilled migrant or expat from within the EU, EEA or Switzerland, this is obviously not necessary. There is then free travel for individuals.

After the IND recognition as sponsor is in, you as an employer can move on to the second step; the actual application for the work permit. During this step, you then basically have two main options as an employer; the GVVA (for residence and work) or the TWV (for work only). There are differences between the two options, such as the period for which it is intended and the authority where you have to apply for the permit (IND or UWV). In some cases, you may even need a provisional residence permit (MVV). Need help finding the most suitable work permit for your expat(s) and/or highly skilled migrant(s)? As an expert in this field, we can help you with this Payse eager to get on with it! 

  1. If the intention is to employ the employee for a longer period, it is possible to apply for a residence permit after granting the work permit in the previous step. The knowledge migrant/expat will then have the right to stay and thus work in the Netherlands for a longer period of time. 

Throughout this process, however, it is important to take several things into account. For example, you should think about: 

  • Meeting certain conditions (e.g. minimum salary requirement for knowledge migrants)
  • Drafting a valid employment contract
  • There must be a valid passport or other travel document
  • As an employer, you need to arrange this entire process

Thus, it is only natural that many employers ask for help to manage it all.
