You can work in the Netherlands for any company in the world

You might be wondering, how can I work and stay legally in the Netherlands, when you (still) work for your employer that is not in the EU? Don’t you need a Dutch (or EU) employer to get a residence and work permit? Well, that is where Dutch Employer of Record comes in place. We will be the intermediary and act as your local employer. We will set up the contracts with your place of work and explain the details. An Employer of Record might be a new term for you, but don’t worry, it is a fully established process.

What is an Employer of Record?

An Employer of Record is a company that employs employees on behalf of another company. In most cases, the client company will be based in a different country than the employee. The Employer of Record will therefore handle all employment-related matters such as payroll, contracts, and insurance.

Working remotely from the Netherlands for a company based in another country is possible. This arrangement can be beneficial for both the employee and the employer, as it allows the employee to work in their desired location whilst still being employed by the company. It also means that the employer does not have to set up a new company in the Netherlands.
