Audit Immigration

As an employer, of course you want your foreign employee to feel at home in the Netherlands. That’s why good expat support is essential, whether it concerns finding new housing or arranging all the other things that come into play when moving across the globe.

Together with our highly experienced relocation partners, we offer assistance with the following and more:

International relocation and finding (temporary) housing
Finding suitable schools, GPs, etcetera
Supervision of visits to the IND and the municipality
Opening a bank account and various registration obligations in the Netherlands

As a (recognized) sponsor, your organization has quite a few obligations. Despite good intentions, mistakes are often made in filing or reporting due to a lack of knowledge of the rules. This can lead to unpleasant situations such as fines or shutdowns. You can avoid these by doing a regular compliance and personnel file check.

Many companies need help with this process. That is why Exterus and Maes Law offer a comprehensive audit, which carefully checks your compliance with:

The duty to keep records
The obligation to provide information
The duty of care
