Are Ukrainians able to work in Holland?🇳🇱
Yes, Ukrainians fleeing the war can work in the Netherlands under the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD), which grants immediate residency and full access to the Dutch labour market without needing a work permit.
Applicants must register with the municipality (BRP registry) to obtain a BSN number and receive proof of TPD status, allowing them to work and receive social benefits.
Key Working Conditions & Information:
Employers do not need to apply for a work permit (TWV) for employees covered by the TPD, simplifying the hiring process.
You have the same rights to employment as Dutch citizens, including minimum wage, safety regulations, and working hours.
You must have a BSN (citizen service number) and proof of residency status from the IND (Immigration and Naturalisation Service).
Many jobs are available, particularly in sectors like logistics, horticulture, and production, where English is often used as a working language.
It is possible to do voluntary work (unpaid work).
Important Notes:
If you find employment, your living allowance or food allowance may be reduced or fully withheld.
