| Working while studying in the Netherlands - 11 March 2008 |
Most students will need a work permit if they want to take paid work alongside their studies.
Work Permit (tewerkstellingsvergunning, TWV)
In general most foreigners will need a work permit if they want to do a traineeship or work in the Netherlands. Only residents with an EU or EEA or Swiss nationality, except for Bulgarians and Romanians, don’t need a work permit.
Do you need a work permit when you are a student and do a traineeship?
If you are enrolled as a student in the Netherlands or in another country, you may work as a trainee. A traineeship is any work placement or practical training arrangement that aims to give you experience of the world of work while you are studying. If you have already graduated, you will not be able to work as a trainee in the Netherlands. However, there is a similar arrangement that allows you to gain practical work experience in the Netherlands for up to six months. This is called residency with the purpose of work experience.
To find out in which case your employer needs to apply for a work permit for you, read the factsheet ‘immigration procedures for foreign students doing a traineeship’ available from the Netherlands organization for international cooperation in higher education.
Work alongside your studies
If you’re a foreign student and you have a valid residence permit with the aim to study, you can work alongside your studies (either full-time seasonal work in June, July and August, or part-time work of no more than ten hours a week). In this case your Dutch employer does need a work permit for you.
Your employer must apply for the work permit at the Central Organisation for Work and Income (CWI) in Zoetermeer.
