Questions about moving to the Netherlands? We're here to help! The Staff Immigration Office provides immigration support for new international staff.

Staff Immigration Office
Before you arrive
Our main task is to help arrange all the paperwork, including work permits, residence permits, insurance and registering with local authorities. As soon as your Faculty contacts us about your appointment, we will start guiding you through the immigration process.
Once you are in the Netherlands
As soon as you arrive in the Netherlands, we'll arrange an intake interview. During the intake, we can help you register with your local municipality, open a bank account and arrange health insurance.
Coming to work for the Faculty of Science? The Faculty’s Human Resources department will help you with paperwork, local registration and other matters related to living in Amsterdam and working at the UvA.
UvA Staff Housing is a service to help PhDs and other researchers from outside the Netherlands to find housing in Amsterdam. We can arrange accommodation for a period of one month to four years.
