| Introduction of new Expatcenter services from 1 July 2015 The Expatcenter is very happy to introduce new services for recent graduates, highly skilled migrants and scientific researchers. Orientation year
Graduates and academics who have successfully applied for an ‘orientation year’ residence permit, which allows graduates to work and search for employment in the Netherlands for up to a year, will be able to collect their residence permits at the Expatcenter Amsterdam directly. The Expatcenter grants bachelors’ and masters’ graduates an exemption from paying a fee for use of this Expatcenter service. Click here for the updated IND application form. Residence permit extensions
In addition, highly skilled migrants and scientific researchers that have applied for an extension of their residence permit at the IND will now be able to collect their residence permit extension at the Expatcenter Amsterdam.

| Registration requirement – new policy Please note that there has been a change in policy regarding registration of address with the municipality. Fines can now be imposed for failure to register at the correct address, to notify the municipality of a change of address on time and to present all relevant documents. Being registered properly is not only important for you, but also for all other residents of Amsterdam – the government can only serve you well if it has accurate information about you. Everyone living in or moving to Amsterdam is required to register their address in the Municipal Personal Records Database (BRP). It’s also very important to be registered at the actual and correct address of residence. Furthermore, any relevant birth, marriage or death certificates and other required documentation must be presented to the municipality upon registering for the first time. >> Find more information about registration |
