For Highly Skilled (Knowledge) Migrants: If you have been recently transferred to or have gained employment at a company or organisation in Amsterdam, your employer’s Human Resources department will probably be helping to arrange for your relevant permits and visas beforehand but you should check this with them to make sure.
For ‘trailing partners’ (following their partners who have already established residency), your residential status affects whether or not you are allowed to work and whether or not a potential employer needs to put in a request on your behalf.
This type of work visa requires that you possess skills or work in fields where there are shortages in the Netherlands (and quite often the EU). For more information, it might be helpful to visit the Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst (IND) and the Centrum voor Werk en Inkomen (CWI).
