Working and Living in the Netherlands with a Combined Permit (GVVA)

As a non-EU citizen, do you want to live and work in the Netherlands for longer than 90 days? If so, you usually need a Combined Residence and Work Permit (GVVA). This permit regulates both your right of residence and your work permit in one go, making the process much simpler. You don’t have to worry when applying, as this is usually arranged by your employer with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND).
