Cases Won for Clients

Amsterdam is the center of the Ukrainian community in the Netherlands. Registering with the gemeente, obtaining a BSN, extending temporary protection status through the IND, housing and employment issues — everything has its Amsterdam specifics and its own queues.

Zahist in Amsterdam supports clients in the Dutch and Ukrainian jurisdictions — with one team.

01

Status and immigration in Amsterdam

IND, BSN, gemeente

The IND and the Amsterdam municipality have separate procedures for Ukrainians. We guide the client from registration to a stable status.

  • Registration with the gemeente Amsterdam, obtaining a BSN
  • Extending temporary protection through the IND
  • Transitioning to a work- or business-based residence permit
  • Highly Skilled Migrant for IT professionals
  • Family reunification in the Netherlands
  • Appealing IND decisions (bezwaar, beroep)
02

Work and family in Amsterdam

Amsterdam's labor market is international, but Dutch employment law has its pitfalls. In parallel, family matters between the Netherlands and Ukraine.

  • Reviewing an arbeidsovereenkomst before signing
  • Protection against dismissal, transitievergoeding
  • Disputes with employers and uitzendbureau agencies
  • Divorce and child support between Amsterdam and Ukraine
  • Child custody, international disputes
  • Document recognition, apostille
03

Business in Amsterdam

BV, 30% ruling, relocation

Amsterdam is the main business hub of the Benelux. Ukrainians open BV companies here and move their businesses under Dutch jurisdiction.

  • BV registration: notary, KvK, bank account
  • Arranging the 30% ruling for relocated employees
  • ZZP (self-employment) in Amsterdam
  • Commercial leases, contract review
  • Contracts with Dutch counterparties
  • Relocating IT companies to Amsterdam
