This is an ideal opportunity for those committed to relocating and building a long-term healthcare career in the Netherlands.

You need to learn the basics of Dutch Language [A2, A2, and basics of B1 in India], and the advanced Dutch language training will be provided free of cost by the employer after you arrive in the Netherlands.
Immigration Pathways
To accommodate different personal and professional situations, we offer two process tracks:
Standard Process
Ideal for those who wish to continue working in their current job while studying Dutch. This pathway offers flexible learning schedules, personalized support, and a duration of 6–12 months, allowing gradual integration into Dutch society.
Express Process
Designed for candidates who opt to leave their jobs and focus full-time on Dutch language studies. This immersive program accelerates your progress to B1-level fluency in 5–7 months, includes cultural orientation, and ensures you're fully prepared for life and work in the Netherlands. The selection for express process would be based on the immediate requirement.
Visa & Work Permits
You will enter the Netherlands through the MVV (Provisional Residence Permit), which pre-approves your long-stay visa. After arrival, your employer will apply for the GVVA (Combined Residence and Work Permit), which authorizes you to both live and work in the country.
While a family visa is not issued immediately, you may apply for it 6 months after arrival. Your employer has a dedicated team to assist with this process, but the associated costs will be your responsibility. Notably, this visa falls under the Schengen category, allowing travel across Europe.
