From the first eligibility check to the residence card in hand. Highly Skilled Migrant, EU Blue Card, DAFT, partner and family permits, renewals, and employer changes. We review every document, submit within 24 hours, and stay on the IND until there's a decision made and residence card handed in.
These are the routes we run every week. If your situation isn't here, ask. We also handle intra-company transfers, the orientation year (zoekjaar), student permits, and EU-law family verifications.
The employee must meet also the standard requirements: a valid passport, start date, function, translated & apostilled marriage certificate, and for children translated & apostilled birth certificate.
No MVV and no residence permit. You register at the town hall and you're set.
You can travel to the Netherlands first, provide biometrics here and collect the permit. This skips the embassy appointment and saves two to four weeks.
You apply for the MVV at a Dutch embassy in your home country, collect the visa sticker, then travel and collect residence permit in the Netherlands at the IND office.
The Dutch-American Friendship Treaty gives US nationals a self-employment route that nobody else gets, with a low investment threshold of €4,500. If you're American and going freelance or starting a business here, this is usually the path. UK citizens are exempt from the MVV entry visa, but since Brexit they're treated as non-EU for everything else.
We move fast on the parts we control and we're straight with you about the parts we don't. As soon as your file is complete, the application is with the IND within 24 hours.
