Updated: Ukrainian refugees allowed to work without a work permit as of April 1st

Categorie: The market

As of April 1st, 2022, an exception is being made to allow Ukrainian refugees to work in the Netherlands for one year without a work permit. This exception is being made in an effort to help refugees from Ukraine more easily find work in the Netherlands and be able to more quickly settle in and continue their lives after their displacement.

Refugees will receive a document from the IND to show that they fall under the Temporary Protection Directive (Richtlijn Tijdelijke Bescherming). They will then need to register with the municipality where they will be residing and their employer must notify the UWV of the employment and contract agreement. Once these actions have been taken the refugee will be allowed to begin working two workdays after the employer has informed the UWV.
