IND recognised sponsorship
We check whether your company qualifies, prepare the application to the IND and set up the administration you must keep as a sponsor.
Highly skilled migrants
From salary check to residence card: we prepare the application your company files through the IND business portal, including the MVV where needed.
EU Blue Card and other work permits
EU Blue Card, intra-corporate transfer, single permit (GVVA) and researchers – we choose the route that fits the role and the candidate.
International recruitment support
Before you make an offer, we tell you which candidates you can hire, which permit applies and what salary is required.
Sponsor compliance
Payslips, proof of salary payment, reporting changes to the IND on time: we keep your sponsor file in order so your recognition stays safe.
Corporate immigration services
Family members of employees, renewals, job changes, permanent residence and relocation – one point of contact for your whole international team.

Your duties as a recognised sponsor
Keep records
Keep the employee’s file, monthly payslips and – since 2026 – proof that each salary was actually paid into the employee’s bank account.
Report changes
Tell the IND within 4 weeks about relevant changes, such as the end of employment or a change of employer.
Duty of care
Select and inform your foreign employees carefully, and make sure they meet the conditions of their permit.
If it goes wrong
The IND can impose fines, suspend or withdraw your recognition. A solid file prevents problems.
