interdean relocation services - joost zoetemeyer: all you need to know about dutch work permits
DESCRIPTION
These are the slides to Joost Zoetemyer's presentation on "All you need to know about Dutch work permits" at Expatica's International Job Fair on Saturday, 5 April 2014. Joost Zoetemeyer is a visa and immigration specialist at the Interdean Relocation Services Amsterdam office. He is completely at home in the processes of international relocation to and from the Netherlands, and enjoys guiding people through the – sometimes complex – procedures, in a pleasant and smooth manner. Obtaining the correct visa and immigration work permits can be a complicated and time consuming exercise, but one that is critical to allowing the movement of expat employees. On a daily basis, he provides assistance and advice about securing the required permits on a global basis, to ensure that all visa and immigration permits are compliant with local requirements. • Visa and immigration application • Work permit processing • Visa and immigration Re-entry permit • Legalisations of visa and immigration documentation • Local required registration Joost was introduced to global relocation at an early age. As child in an expat family, he lived in Singapore, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, personally experiencing the moves, international schools and inter-cultural adaptation. This means he knows about all aspects, and the impact, of an international move. Joost’s professional career started in international logistics at a Japanese trading company, coordinating the shipment (& customs) of automotive parts from Europe to Brazil and China. Subsequently, he was in several logistics account management positions, at different multinational corporations. Seven years ago, he came upon the opportunity to join a relocation company, which felt like a homecoming, with his unique combination of an international background and logistical skill.
