Category 1 (Single permit)
For paid employment you or your employer need to apply for a single permit. A single permit combines both the residence permit (TEV procedure included) issued by the IND as well as the work permit (TWV) issued by UWV.
For more information on the newly introduced single permit please check our Residence Wizard.
Please note the forms are available in Dutch only!
