Conditions for working in the Netherlands

Last updated: 3/23/2023, 4:01 PM

You can work as a refugee from Ukraine in paid employment, as long as you meet some conditions. You can read more about this on this page.

You must meet four requirements

  • You fall under the Temporary Protection Directive.

  • You are registered in the

    Dutch population register (BRP)
    .

  • You have a citizen service number (BSN).

  • You have valid proof of residence.

Reporting to the UWV

Your prospective employer must notify the

Dutch Employee Insurance Agency (UWV)
as soon as possible that a refugee is joining its workforce. You do not have to do this yourself.

Your future employer can notify the UWV through this website that they will be employing a refugee.

RefugeeHelp provides independent information on various topics that you may face as a refugee. The information you will find on this platform comes from the human rights organisation VluchtelingenWerk Nederland, in collaboration with its partners.
