The possibilities as a Recognized Sponsor

Does your organization want to employ a highly skilled migrant, but you are not yet recognized as a sponsor by the IND. EMG can help you with the application as a recognized sponsor or offers EOR (Employer of Record) and Pay-rolling services as a (temporary) solution.

What is a Sponsor?

A sponsor is a person or organization that has an interest in a migrant coming to live and/or work in the Netherlands. A natural person can be a sponsor for a family member and an organization for a foreign employee. Recognition as a sponsor takes place via the IND (Immigration and Naturalisation Service).

Why is Recognized Sponsorship important?

If an organization wants to hire a highly skilled migrant from outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland, this person must be recognized by a sponsor by the IND. In addition, being a recognized sponsor offers advantages: applications are processed more quickly and less evidence needs to be provided.
