About IN Amsterdam
IN Amsterdam provides a one-stop-shop service for international companies and their highly skilled migrant employees. All companies based in the municipalities of Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Almere, Diemen, Haarlem, Hilversum, Haarlemmermeer and Velsen who are official sponsors or recognised partners of the Netherlands' Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) can make use of IN Amsterdam’s streamlined procedures.
Help for companies
Via the IN Amsterdam procedure, employers can initiate the registration for a residence permit prior to their new employee’s arrival in the country. This allows highly skilled migrants (and their family members) to complete several important formalities in a single visit to the IN Amsterdam office after arrival. IN Amsterdam also provides other services such as applications for the 30% ruling and assists international newcomers directly.
