Preparing for arrival

Being prepared is half the work. Your country of origin and type of visa will determine what you need to do before you leave home and which documents you need to bring with you.

Be sure to get information about your specific situation from the Human Resources department of your future employer.

The following websites provide information about immigration, visas, work permits, and mandatory health insurance:

• Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND)
• Dutch Immigration and Residency Regulations (including documents to bring from home and applying for a residence permit before leaving for the Netherlands)
• What is a highly skilled knowledge migrant?
