Sometimes it is necessary to have a special permit to work in the Netherlands. We call this permit the "work permit" (TWV). Normally, third-country nationals (people coming from outside the EU) need such a permit.
What is a work permit?
A work permit (TWV) can be considered a necessary approval required by foreign workers to work legally in the Netherlands. The process requires careful compliance with laws and regulations. Both employers and employees must be well informed about this process in order to maintain a successful and lawful employment relationship.
Work authorization (TWV) conditions
To obtain a work permit (TWV), there are some important conditions that must be met. We have listed these conditions below:
- Compliance with working conditions and legislation: the employer must at all times maintain applicable working conditions and not violate labor laws. This includes things such as complying with minimum wage regulations, ensuring suitable working conditions, and observing working hours in accordance with legal requirements. It is extremely important that the workplace meets legal standards.
- Valid residence permit: an important requirement is that the employee must already have a valid residence permit to reside and work in the Netherlands.
If you, as an employer, want to apply for a TWV, you must submit this application to the UWV (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen). Keep in mind that it may take several weeks before a decision is made on your application.
Failure to apply for a TWV can have serious consequences for a company, including fines that can amount to as much as 8,000 euros for employing workers without the required permit. It is therefore of utmost importance that employers closely follow the laws and regulations regarding work permits to avoid legal problems and financial penalties.
How do you apply for a work permit as an employer?
- Application to UWV: at the UWV, an employer has the option of applying for the Employment Permit. It is important to note that this permit is both person-specific and work-specific, meaning that it is specifically valid for a particular employee and a specific job.
- Assessment by UWV: the UWV will review the application and make a decision on granting the permit within a maximum of five weeks.
Work permit Ukraine
Workers from Ukraine are subject to specific and favorable regulations regarding work permits in the Netherlands. Unlike many other non-EU citizens, you do not need to apply for a work permit for Ukrainian workers if they meet certain criteria. These criteria are as follows:
- Under the European Union's Temporary Protection Directive: first of all, your employee must be covered by the "European Union Temporary Protection Directive. This directive applies to Ukrainian citizens seeking temporary protection in the EU due to special circumstances in their home country. This may be the case, for example, in cases of political instability, armed conflict, or serious human rights violations in Ukraine.
- Employment contract: Second, it is essential that your Ukrainian employee has a valid employment contract. This means that there must be a written agreement between the employee and the employer setting out the terms of employment, such as salary, working hours and job description. This employment contract should meet the legal requirements that apply to employment contracts in the Netherlands.
