Netherlands Immigration FAQs

Answers on HSM, GVVA, ICT, IND timelines, and employer requirements in the Netherlands.

Use these answers to plan the information and decisions HR needs to coordinate. Requirements can change, and the process depends on the employee, role, employer, and destination. Confirm the applicable route and obligations with partner immigration counsel.

Who reviews HSM and GVVA filings?

WayLit coordinates the case with partner attorneys and local professionals. Confirm whether the proposed work uses the highly skilled migrant, GVVA, transfer, or another route, who provides legal advice and submits each application, and which employer records or approvals are required. HR remains responsible for accurate company information and employer decisions.

How should HR plan the timing of a Dutch highly skilled migrant case?

Separate preparation, employer sponsorship requirements, IND processing, and any remaining entry or document steps. IND lists a 90-day legal decision period for highly skilled migrant applications and can extend the period in specified circumstances. A decision period is not a guaranteed end-to-end hiring date. Use the current IND decision-period guidance and have counsel confirm work-start conditions for the employee.

What does HR need to provide?

Prepare the employing entity, proposed duties, pay, contract, employee's current status, and target dates. For a highly skilled migrant case, confirm the employer's recognised-sponsor position and any applicable exception before planning the filing. Ask the case team to identify the correct route and current evidence requirements. See the IND highly skilled migrant guidance.

How do I confirm whether WayLit supports a visa route?

Share the destination, proposed role, employer structure, and employee’s circumstances with the case team. WayLit and partner attorneys can confirm the supported route, legal requirements, service scope, and next steps before work begins. Coverage and eligibility depend on the particular case.

What does WayLit coordinate, and what remains with HR?

WayLit coordinates case workflows, document requests, employee updates, and next steps with partner immigration attorneys. Partner attorneys advise on the applicable legal requirements and filings. HR provides accurate employment and company information, approves sponsorship and budgets, and carries out employer obligations. Agree on case-specific responsibilities at the start and flag changes in the role, worksite, or employee’s circumstances.

How does WayLit help HR track renewals and compliance deadlines?

The platform records case milestones and relevant deadlines, while the case team coordinates reminders and next steps. HR should keep employment and employee information current, respond to assigned tasks, and tell the team about changes. Partner attorneys confirm the applicable filing requirements and legal obligations for the case.

How does WayLit keep employees informed?

WayLit coordinates case updates, document requests, and action items directly with employees. Questions about legal requirements, travel, or work authorization are coordinated with partner immigration attorneys. HR remains involved when company information, sponsorship decisions, or employer action is needed.
