On internet there are also all kind of rumours flying around that all the procedures regarding work permits and study permits are put on hold. That information is INCORRECT. We checked this morning with the IND! If you request such permits the IND will check if there is no violation of the sanctions against Russia and Belarus. Before you apply it might be wise to have a look at those sanctions here: https://www.rvo.nl/onderwerpen/internationaal-ondernemen/landenoverzicht/rusland/sancties#     Interessant artikel?

Van het kastje naar de muur gestuurd voelen ze zich. Terwijl Nederland in een semi-lockdown zat verstreek het jaar dat zij op zoek konden naar een baan na hun studie. De IND was "dicht" en verlenging aanvragen is juridisch niet mogelijk. Alhoewel de mensen bij de IND aangaven dat er achter de schermen echt werd gezocht naar een oplossing worden mensen wanhopig. Hun studenten bijbaantjes zijn door bazen soms gestopt vanwege de Corona en andere werkgevers zijn soms niet bereid om zich nu in een verblijfsvergunning als wetenschappelijk medewerker te verdiepen. Vorige week ging dan ook een deel van de groep protesteren in Den Haag. Het mocht in een hoekje bij het Centraal Station. Niet iedereen durft midden in een pandemie met de trein (mocht ook niet eigenlijk) of heeft er geen geld voor. Andere mensen waren in paniek op het laatste vliegtuig naar India gestapt en kunnen niet terug. Als ik zo die groep hoor dan denk ik: visa voor kort verblijf werden zo verlengd. Visa vrije ...

A group of people who are in The Netherlands with a Zoekjaar-residence permit (a permit that allows you a year in The Netherlands while you look for a job there) are lobbying for an extension of their permit now exceptional circumstances with Corona and a semi-lockdown are making it very difficult for them to find that job. But what are the legal remedies when you cannot fly back home but overstaying might see you in trouble with your insurances and maybe a mark on your immigrational future? Situation 1: Your Zoekjaar permit is still valid for over 3 months Use your time to apply for jobs. Are you familiar with http://www.academictransfer.com ? In The Netherlands a Phd position is a paid job and comes with a residence permit. Also read up on doing an extra Master as also studying comes with a permit and while you study you can go and look for a Kennismigranten or Research job as well. In the meantime lobby at parliament and talk with journalists but focus on job-hunting. Si...

Suppose your wife is studying in a European country and you would like to accompany her but she does not have the income to sponsor you for a spousal visa. Let me give you some ideas. 1) Why not start a study yourself if you have money in the bank? Here in The Netherlands that gives you a residents permit as a student. Other EU countries might have a similar system. Moreover a foreign degree looks quite good on one's resume. 2) Have your heard of the Blue Card system? EU blue card holder | Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND).  It comes down to employers hiring personnel that will get a very high salary because they cannot find suitable employees within the EU. In The Netherlands we also have the Knowledgemigrant permit (kennismigranten). Salary requirements are lower. 3) Then there is researcher? Researcher | Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND)  Also for researchers there are good opportunities within the EU and the position comes with...

Binnen drie jaar na hun afstuderen of promoveren kunnen buitenlandse hoogopgeleide studenten een verblijfsvergunning voor een zoekjaar aanvragen. Per 1 oktober 2017 geldt er nieuw beleid dat de praktijk van het zoekjaar hoogopgeleiden verheldert. Er wordt vastgelegd op welk moment de driejarige termijn begint: • Voor studenten die in Nederland zijn afgestudeerd begint de termijn op de dag van het behalen van het laatste tentamen. • Voor hoogopgeleiden die in het buitenland zijn afgestudeerd of gepromoveerd begint de termijn op de datum van het diploma. Daarnaast geldt een nieuw uitgangspunt: • de buitenlandse universiteit moet ten tijde van de afstudeerdatum in de top 200 lijsten* staan Voor meer informatie over het zoekjaar zie ons artikel hier . *) Top 200 buitenlandse onderwijsinstellingen; Wereldranglijst universiteiten - Times Higher Education World University Rankings Topuniversiteiten - QS World University Rankings Academische ranglijst universiteiten - Academic...

The Werkgroep Vreemdelingenrecht is a thinktank of dedicated immigration lawyers. Most of us are attorneys working in different firms but one of us teaches immigration law at a college. We pride ourselves in trying to give clients the best legal advice and assistance possible. That is why we meet on a regular basis to discuss the developments in our legal field and learn from each other's expertise. Moving to another country is complicated as it is but the legal aspects have so many loopholes and bogs that good advice is essential. And that is what we can offer. On the 4th of November we will be in The Hague and you can meet us at the IamExpatFair from 10.00-17.00. We will be represented by our following members: - mr Julien Luscuere - Rotterdam, https://www.inigo.nl/julien-luscuere - mr Merijn de Jong - Rotterdam, https://www.inigo.nl/merijn-de-jong - mr Anton Kleijweg, Den Haag, https://www.advocatenkantoorkleijweg.nl/ - mevrouw mr Joelle de Poorte, Dordrecht, http:...

From April 1, 2017, highly skilled migrants, scientific researchers and students have gained broader access to the Dutch labour market. Now, the employment status on their residence card includes the possibility to work as a self-employed person. Scientific researchers are free on the labour market; meaning they can accept work in paid employment, next to their position as a researcher. Making use of the self-employed option If you want to make use of the self-employment option, you do not have to apply for a new residence card first. You can go to the Chamber of Commerce directly to register your company. Just keep in mind that the conditions for the residence permit as a highly skilled migrant, scientific researcher or student have not changed and you still need to comply with them - your employment or studies may not be negatively affected by your business activities. This newly gained access to the labour market as an e...

ENGLISH / NEDERLANDS The Netherlands is a country with a restrictive immigration legal system. As it is a tiny country with not much space and not that many jobs and housing the government decided long ago to only admit certain groups of immigrants. You can divide them in: - family reunion migrants (spouses, minors etc.) - temporary migrants (students, au pairs) - expat workers under very strict conditions - business owners The Immigration Service of The Netherlands has a great wizard on its site with info about all kind of residence permits: have a look. But suppose you cannot find what you would like to know it can never harm to ask a lawyer for advice as there are loopholes the IND is not mentioning like the EU-route :) Bear in mind that to come to The Netherlands to request a residence permit for many countries that means you have to start at home with a language test and a request for a special visa called mvv. Er zijn vele verschillende reguliere verb...

"Although promised for the weekend due to an illness a bit later. But here is the "translation" of the Dutch court rulings on Zambrano and the cheap Europe-route procedure. In the Netherlands a residence permit as a familymember costs around 1000 pound. There is one exception and that is the so-called Europe test. In that case a third country national married with a non-Dutch EU national who wants to come and live in The Netherlands or a Dutch person married with a third country national and which couple lived at least 3 months together in another EU country can ask the immigration service to tests if the third country national has a right to stay in the Netherlands based on European law and Directive 2004/38. This 'Europe test" costs only around 30 pound. Due to the Zambrano ruling a lot of people who are illegal here try to claim permission to stay due to their Dutch children and some also claim they have that right under article 8 of the ECHR. Seeing t...

To summarize the blogs I posted today: According to the Dutch courts: - Refused asylumseekers from Iraq can be deported to Jordan if Jordan agrees to take them back; - Algerian authorities do grant a laissez passer to their nationals who are illegal in The Netherlands as long as they declare to be willing to go back. The court states that that declaration can demanded from such illegal aliens; - Some Oeigoers lost their case against deportation to China. The highest administrative court did not follow their lawyers that the sole fact that they had been abroad for a long period would bring their life in danger (artcle 3 ECHR); The Dutch organisation Vluchtelingenwerk (Refugee aid) organises a white umbrella march on World refugee day. In Vrij Nederland (a magazine) an article is publised about the medical plight of illegal aliens in The Netherlands. Requests for a resident permit as a highly qualified migrant are halted for people from Iran due to the political pressure Europ...

Brussels, 18 November 2011 – Where do you apply for a German work permit? Does an Indian citizen need a residence permit to study in Spain? And if you have been exploited for work, who can you call for support? Today, the European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Cecilia Malmström, launched the 'EU Immigration Portal', a website with hands-on information for foreign nationals interested in moving to the EU. The site, ec.europa.eu/immigration , is also directed at migrants who are already here and would like to move from one Member State to another. It provides specific information for each category of migrants about migration procedures in all 27 Member States. Commissioner Malmström said: "Many people who want to move to the European Union do not know what possibilities exist, how to apply for a resident permit or the risks related to irregular migration. And migrants who are already in the EU are not always aware of their rights. We need to provide solid, easily access...

direThe proposed "single permit" must suffice to enable third-country workers to live and work in the EU, said the Civil Liberties Committee on Thursday. Allowing Member States to issue additional documents would defeat the whole purpose of having a "single permit", which should include all relevant information on the right to work. MEPs backed the original Commission text on this and confirmed December's plenary vote on the employment issues. The proposed "single permit" directive aims to streamline bureaucratic procedures for all potential immigrants applying to live and work in an EU Member State, by enabling them to obtain work and residence permits via a single procedure. The proposal would also confer a common set of rights to third-country workers comparable to those of EU citizens, such as minimum working conditions, recognition of diplomas and professional qualifications and access to social security. Bones of contention: scope, equal trea...

1. Possibility for U.S. citizens to seek employment in Sweden U.S. citizens can enter into Sweden without a visa and remain in Sweden for three months without any kind of permit. During this time, job hunting is allowed, but not working. 2. Types of Visa/Authorization to Work Work permit procedures Non-EU/EEA citizens who intend to work in Sweden require a work permit before entering the country. It is however possible for employees to come to Sweden, without a work permit, for the recruitment process and then stay if they are hired. Work permits are applied for at the Swedish embassy or consulate in the applicant's country of origin or residence. The consulate or embassy forwards the application to Migration Board for adjudication. Qualifying grounds for work permits On 15 December 2008, new rules regarding the influx of foreign labour to Sweden came into force. The aim is to create a more efficient and flexible system in order to facilitate the recruitment of employe...
