Governmental Procedures
As a highly skilled migrant in the Netherlands you need a residence permit to work. Learn more about the conditions and application procedure for registration (BSN) and/or residence permit (IND).
Registration in the Netherlands
If you are working or studying in the Netherlands, or living here for more than 4 months, you have to register at the municipality where you will be living to be entered in the Municipal Personal Records Database (Basisregistratie personen or BRP).
Residence permit (IND)
In the Netherlands a residence permit is issued by the Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst – IND (Immigration and Naturalisation Service).
