HM Solutions as a recognised sponsor of the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) for highly skilled migrants.
Are you looking for a reliable partner who can help bring your highly skilled migrants to the Netherlands quickly and safely? As a recognised sponsor with the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND), HM Solutions supports both employers and IT professionals in arranging residence and work permits, enabling international talent to live and work legally in the Netherlands within a short timeframe.
What is an IND sponsor and why do you need one?
In the Netherlands, the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) works with recognised sponsors for highly skilled migrants. A recognised sponsor is an organisation approved by the IND to submit residence permit applications on behalf of employers and highly skilled migrants.
When you work with a recognised IND sponsor, you benefit from an accelerated procedure, fewer administrative burdens, and greater assurance that everything complies with legal requirements. This helps prevent delays, unnecessary refusals, and risks for your company or career.
Why choose HM Solutions as your IND sponsor?
As an experienced IT service provider and recognised IND sponsor, HM Solutions understands both the technical realities of the workplace and the legal and administrative aspects of highly skilled migration. You benefit from a single partner who understands both the visa process and practical onboarding.
We assist with, among other things:
- Assessing whether you or your candidate meet the requirements for the Highly Skilled Migrant scheme
- Preparing and submitting applications to the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND)
- Advising on salary thresholds, contract types and relevant regulations
- Communicating with the IND and monitoring deadlines
- Supporting the search for suitable housing and sports facilities
- Explaining Dutch laws and regulations relevant to working and living in the Netherlands as a highly skilled migrant
This allows you to focus on your project, while we handle the process for residence, employment, and a smooth landing in the Netherlands.
