IMMIGRATION PROCESSES

The migrant status has some peculiarities and specificities that need to be arranged and resolved so that they can work legally, such as Tev visas, ICT and some other things. BMF ADVICES will advise and guide you in relation to all bureaucratic aspects. Accurate and appropriate guidance will save time and unnecessary hassle for all parties.

SECURE YOUR EMPLOYEE’S WORK PERMITS IN THE NETHERLANDS.

The procedures required to obtain a work permit for employees hired outside the EU require a lot of your time, becoming quite exhausting and time-consuming. Most people don't have all that time available to deal with these issues, so they outsource all the visa and permit application work to make sure their employee can come to the Netherlands and start working as quickly as possible.

We have put together some of the processes necessary to acquire a work permit in the Netherlands, check them out:

The first thing to do is the TeV request. This is the request for entry and stay in the country, so your request is essential. Depending on the employee's country of origin, it may be necessary to request another entry visa, the MVV, and it is important to pay attention to this detail.

For transfers from an EU company to another unit or branch in the Netherlands, it is also necessary to apply the ICT (Guideline for Intra-Corporate Transfers). Being an IND sponsor is an important requirement to be able to register with TeV and MVV.

If you need your employee's services in the Netherlands as quickly as possible, the best solution is to outsource this entire visa application process to us. This is because there is no doubt that the entire procedure is quite complex, requiring time and dedication. The IND, which is responsible for authorizing visas, despite trying to process all applications within 4 to 6 weeks, has a deadline of up to 3 months to do so, which delays all your plans with your new employee.

Therefore, in an attempt to bring your employee to the Netherlands and make them available for work in an agile and fast way, within legal means, we carry out the request and deal directly with the IND and the embassy, speeding up the process.

Here are some of the procedures we perform:

Full assistance in applying for TeV and MVV visas;Advice regarding salary requirements;Assistance in relation to the legalization of documents;Applications required for residence permits for family and work; Intra-Corporate Transfer Application; We schedule appointments with the embassy to collect the visa;

We value transparent and constant communication, making you and your employee aware of all requirements and ensuring that they are carried out quickly.

Requesting a Knowledge visa is also very important to guarantee your employee's arrival.

If you are interested in knowing how to complete the visa application process, from the social security number to the legalization of documents, and how we can help you, continue reading this text.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF OUTSOURCING?

Many companies end up looking for employees from other countries to fill specific positions and professionals duly qualified to do so. However, from hiring until the employee arrives to actually be able to work legally in our country, it can take a long time. Expatriate regularization requires several complex procedures. Acquiring a visa, social security number (BSN), housing accommodations and all necessary information regarding the 30% decision are some of them. Furthermore, simple things that are already part of residents' daily lives, such as public transport and garbage collection, will be issues that your employee will need help knowing and understanding in order to adapt.

Therefore, it is clear that migrating to a new country to work requires a series of concerns and doubts that need to be faced, which will end up taking up your employee's working hours. BMF ADVICES' proposal is to save you time and stress, taking care of everything regarding your employee, allowing them to focus their energy solely on work immediately.

WHAT ARE THE TAX BENEFITS FOR EXPATRIATES?

Given everything that has already been explained, it is clear that expatriates end up incurring some extra expenses, such as arranging for a new home, return trips to their country of origin, schools for their children, medical exams and many others.
