Yes, but a new TWV application is required for different work or employer, as the permit is job-specific. Notify UWV of changes.

Application fee is €380, paid by the employer. Additional costs may include visa fees or translations.

Yes, proof of Dutch or equivalent health insurance coverage is mandatory upon application and arrival.

Exemptions include EU/EEA/Swiss nationals, Ukrainian refugees under Temporary Protection (notify UWV), certain students/asylum seekers, short business meetings, or posted workers from EU firms.

Up to 5 weeks for standard processing; faster for recognized sectors or if all documents are complete.

TWV is for employed work; freelancers may need a different permit (e.g., self-employment residence). However, it can cover interns/freelancers if sponsored by an employer.

TWV is for short-term work (<90 days) without residence permit, applied via UWV. GVVA combines residence and work for longer stays (>90 days), applied via IND, with stricter tests.

Not always; focus is on job offer and labor market test. However, proof of relevant experience/qualifications is needed, especially for accelerated procedures (e.g., specialists).

The permit is tied to the specific job; if employment ends early, notify UWV. You may need to leave or apply for a new TWV with another employer. No automatic extension for job search.

No, the TWV is for individual short-term work only and does not include family reunification rights, unlike longer permits like GVVA.

Allows quick entry for short-term work without full residence permit, supports sectors like tourism/agriculture, and provides legal work rights. No separate visa needed for some nationalities, but often combined with Schengen short-stay visa.

Up to 1 year maximum, but typically for employment under 90 days. Renewal possible if conditions met; for seasonal work, up to 24 weeks.

Non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals planning to work in the Netherlands for less than 90 days require a TWV, unless exempted. This includes asylum seekers (after 6 months pending application), international students, and workers in specific sectors like agriculture.

The employer (not the employee) applies via UWV's online portal using eHerkenning level 3. Submit after reporting the vacancy. For asylum seekers or intermediaries, similar steps apply. Applications can be online or by form.

Key documents include a valid passport (valid 6+ months), signed employment contract (detailing job, salary, duration), proof of qualifications/experience, health insurance proof, sufficient funds evidence, passport photos, and good conduct certificate.

Employers must prove no suitable EU/EEA/Swiss candidate is available (labor market test: vacancy posted for 5 weeks), offer a job contract, and ensure compliance with Dutch labor laws. Employees need a valid passport, health insurance, and clean criminal record. No specific salary threshold for all, but sector rules apply (e.g., accelerated for high-salary specialists).

The TWV (Tewerkstellingsvergunning) is a work authorization for non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals to perform short-term employment in the Netherlands, typically for up to 90 days, without needing a residence permit. It's issued by UWV and required for roles like seasonal work or temporary assignments.
