Visa Application

This includes applications for Residence Permit for Highly Skilled Migrants (HSM), Intra-Corporate Transfer (ICT), EU Blue Card, and residence permits for partners and children. We also handle permit renewals and verification against EU law.

Outbound Services

When employment ends, we assist with the departure process, helping your employees and their families close out their time in the Netherlands smoothly. From canceling work permits to deregistering from local authorities, we make the transition back home as simple as possible.
