If you have applied for asylum in the Netherlands, but do not yet have an asylum residence permit, you may do a work placement if you have to for your education. Read more here.
Work placements
A work placement is sometimes a required part of your education. During a work placement, you learn a trade or gain work experience. You work for an organisation for a short period of time and you are not paid. If you do not yet have a residence permit, you will also not receive a work placement allowance. Sometimes you do get a travel allowance. Through a work placement you can learn what it is like to work in the Netherlands.
You may do a work placement if:
You have to do the work placement for your education.
The work placement is unpaid. You may be reimbursed for your travel expenses.
Please note: Your employer does not need a work permit (TWV). If the above does not apply to you, you are not allowed to do a work placement.
