Common questions

How long does the permit take?+

IND statutory term is up to 90 days for HSM. In practice most decisions land within 2-4 weeks for complete files.

Can the candidate's family come too?+

Yes - partner and minor children can apply for dependent permits in parallel. We file the family pack together with the main applicant.

What if we get our own recognised sponsor status later?+

We support a clean transfer of the permit and employment once your status is approved by the IND.

What about diploma evaluation?+

Required for some nationalities and roles. We arrange IDW or Nuffic evaluation up front to avoid filing delays.

Already started the sponsor process yourself?

We can take over mid-application or run in parallel as a fallback referent. Share the case and we'll advise within a day.
