FAQ

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.

Can I work in the Netherlands on a partner visa?

Yes, in most cases you can work freely. Your residence card will state whether you are allowed to work without restrictions (often shown as “arbeid vrij toegestaan, TWV niet vereist”).

Do I need a work permit (TWV)?

Usually not. Most partner visas allow you to work without a separate work permit, making it easier for employers to hire you. 

Are there any restrictions on the type of work I can do?

If your residence permit allows free access to the labour market, you can work in any job, including full-time, part-time, freelance, or temporary roles. 

What are common challenges internationals face on a partner visa?

Even though you can work freely, challenges often include understanding the Dutch job market, language barriers, and explaining your visa status to employers who may not be familiar with it.

Do I need experience to apply for jobs through Brave Ones?

Not always. Many roles are entry-level and designed for students. What matters most is your motivation and availability.
