In our video, we explain how the application process works and why thorough preparation is so important.

At All About Expats, we carefully review all documents in advance to ensure that applications are submitted to the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) accurately and completely. This helps prevent unnecessary delays and enables highly skilled migrants to start working in the Netherlands as quickly as possible.

Thanks to our experience and careful approach, requests for additional information or rejections are rare. If the IND does require additional information, we can respond quickly as a recognised sponsor and provide the necessary documentation where required.

With years of experience, up-to-date knowledge of IND requirements and close attention to developments in Dutch immigration law, we know what to look out for throughout the application process.

Zina is responsible for the Relocation & Housing Services at All About Expats, helping international employees settle smoothly in the Netherlands.

For international professionals, relocating to the Netherlands is a major life change. For employers, it involves much more than signing an employment contract. Housing, registration, obtaining a BSN, opening a bank account, arranging insurance, onboarding and supporting integration all need to be carefully coordinated.

That's where Zina comes in.

She connects employers with the right relocation and housing solutions, ensuring international talent can start their new role in the Netherlands with confidence as Highly Skilled Migrants. Working closely with a network of trusted partners, she also contributes to the continuous development of our expat services.

Our Relocation Service supports expats and their families with:
๐Ÿ”ธ Housing & property viewings;
๐Ÿ”ธ BSN application & municipal registration;
๐Ÿ”ธ Banking support;
๐Ÿ”ธ Expat scheme (formerly the 30% ruling) application;
๐Ÿ”ธ Preboarding;
๐Ÿ”ธ Personal guidance after arrival.

Zina helps employers make the relocation process for international employees smooth, personal and well organised.

As an employer, you can support a highly skilled migrant in relocating to the Netherlands together with their partner and children. This may include a spouse, a registered partner or an unmarried partner. In many cases, minor children can also relocate with them.

The right documentation is essential. This may include:

๐Ÿ”ธ IND application forms;
๐Ÿ”ธ A marriage certificate or proof of partnership;
๐Ÿ”ธ Documents demonstrating the relationship;
๐Ÿ”ธ Birth certificates for children.

The exact documentation required depends on the country of origin and the familyโ€™s personal circumstances. Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s important to look beyond the paperwork and also consider the practical aspects of the move.

For example: Can the partner work in the Netherlands? Which schools are available for the children? And what is required to register with the local municipality?

At All About Expats, we support employers throughout the entire immigration process. We help ensure that both the highly skilled migrant and their family are fully prepared for a smooth relocation to the Netherlands.

Already hiring international talent, or planning to? Weโ€™d be happy to help.

Moving to the Netherlands for a new job? Your immigration process can be delayed before your IND application is even submitted.

One of the most important factors is having the right documents, submitted correctly and on time.

At All About Expats, our Expat Desk guides Highly Skilled Migrants through the process step by step. We explain:
๐Ÿ”ธ Which documents you need;
๐Ÿ”ธ How to submit them correctly;
๐Ÿ”ธ Whether documents need to be legalised;
๐Ÿ”ธ Which information needs to match;
๐Ÿ”ธ What needs to be arranged before we can submit your application to the IND.

Even small details can matter. An incorrect file, missing information or inconsistent personal details can mean that additional documents are needed before the application can move forward.

That is why we always recommend: start collecting your documents as early as possible.

The more complete your file is, the sooner we can review it, make any necessary corrections and prepare it for submission to the IND.

Do you already have a job opportunity in the Netherlands and meet the requirements for the Highly Skilled Migrant programme?

Then All About Expats can help you with the next steps of your move to the Netherlands, including immigration procedures, relocation, housing and other practical matters.

Please note that we do not provide job opportunities or recruitment services. Our services are designed for international professionals who already have a job opportunity in the Netherlands and need support with their immigration and relocation process.

In our insider interview with Amin Malek Hosseini, an Automotive Technician from Iran, he shares his experience of working in the Netherlands as an international professional and highly skilled migrant.

Read his story here: https://lnkd.in/eqYmKBAD

Amin moved to the Netherlands to continue his career as an automotive technician. All About Expats supported him throughout the immigration and relocation process, helping him prepare for a smooth start in both his new job and his new life.

A new country. A different working culture. New expectations and ways of working.
What stood out to him the most?

"In the Netherlands, thereโ€™s more emphasis on an open, respectful environment. Contracts, even short-term ones, come with clear expectations, which gives employees peace of mind."

For Amin, that clarity made all the difference. As a highly skilled migrant, you don't just want to know where you'll be working. You also want to understand what is expected of you, how the workplace operates, and what agreements have been made.

For employers, this is an important insight. Attracting international talent doesn't end with an employment contract, a visa, or an approved IND application. The real journey begins when a new international employee feels welcome, informed, and confident from day one.

At All About Expats, we help employers and recruitment partners make that possible. From immigration services and IND recognised sponsorship to relocation support and practical guidance after arrival.

Because international talent deserves more than just a jobโ€”it deserves a strong foundation for a successful future in the Netherlands.

A highly skilled migrant needs guidance from day one.

When welcoming international employees, the focus is often on their arrival. The flight is booked, the first working day is scheduled, and everyone is working towards that one important moment.

But the phase that truly makes the difference starts after they arrive: the first few weeks in the Netherlands.

This is when they still need to register with the municipality, open a bank account, arrange health insurance, and begin building their daily life.

โ€ข How does public transport work?
โ€ข What should be arranged first?
โ€ข What can wait?
โ€ข And how do you create enough stability in a short time to focus on work?

For families, there is even more to consider. Children need time to settle in and be enrolled in school. A partner may not yet have a daily routine or a job, while also trying to find their place in a completely new country.

That is why onboarding international employees does not start on their first working day. It starts with preparing them for their first 30 days in the Netherlands.

At All About Expats, we provide intensive support throughout this transition, from the country of origin to life in the Netherlands. We do not just help employees arrive; we support everything that follows to help both the employee and their family settle successfully, with personal guidance that makes the transition smoother.

Because a successful start at work usually begins long before the first day in the office.

Would you like to better support your international employees and their families during their first weeks in the Netherlands? All About Expats is here to help with personal guidance that goes far beyond arrival.
