Working for a unique organization that often finds itself in the spotlight, doing much more than people realize, where people work together to support those who have the right to reside in the Netherlands. For individuals who are crossing borders because they’ve found love, want to pursue an education, chase their dreams, or seek a safe place after losing it back home. Welcome to the IND. Here, people work without prejudice, contributing meaningfully to our future and that of others.

We are an operational agency within the government. The IND assesses and decides on all naturalization and residency requests from people coming to the Netherlands. We are responsible not only for admissions but also for effective and continuous enforcement. Our staff carry out this work with a people-centered approach, within the complex boundaries of legislation.

At IND, there’s a remarkable diversity of roles and types of work, including IT specialists, lawyers, front desk workers, policy officers, support staff, and more. We even have a unique team of hearing and decision officers.

Bring meaning to your work. Work at IND for a people-centered and meaningful future.
