Aliens law covers the rights and obligations of a person who does not have Dutch nationality. According to Dutch law, these persons are considered aliens.
Immigration law includes people who have fled to the Netherlands and family members of residents of the Netherlands. Immigration law refers to admission, residence and removal. This area of law takes place both in the Netherlands and outside the Netherlands. Because of this, Dutch and European laws and regulations must be taken into account.
Immigration law includes two main branches: regular immigration law and asylum law. Below we briefly explain what is meant by these.
In regular immigration law, we handle situations in which people come to the Netherlands for purposes such as work, study and family reunification. This often requires a visa or provisional residence permit.
The Aliens Act states when there is lawful or unlawful residence. In the case of lawful residence, you can apply for a temporary or permanent residence permit. When you come to the Netherlands to work, a work permit from your employer is required. Because both the rules of the Dutch Aliens Act and European rules are in force in the Netherlands regarding immigration law, situations are sometimes very complicated. Because our law firm has specialized in immigration law for 30 years, we know exactly how to assist you.
We help you apply for necessary permits, renew residence permits and deal with other legal issues related to regular immigration law.
