Happy landing…
After a company has found the right candidate for their open vacancy, we come into the picture. No matter how small or large your organization is, from that point on we are happy to take care of the entire process. There is no single standard procedure for all expats. Since many factors can influence the required documents, each situation demands a tailored approach. This can be stressful.
Our immigration advisors are happy to take the process off your hands. They ensure that all paperwork is completed and submitted. We have contact with the new employees and ensure that all formalities are in order.
Even if you only want advice or to have part of the process arranged, we are here for you.
One-stop-shop
When expats have arrived in the Netherlands and we have arranged the immigration process for them, they can come to us in-house with the IND and the municipality of Wageningen. No long waiting times, just quick and efficient handling of these formalities. We schedule one appointment during which we arrange the residence permit, municipal registration, and provide all the welcome information the expat needs. It’s that easy!
…and living
WCFV offers several programs so expats can focus on work without worrying about their home situation.
We support accompanying partners in starting their own careers in the Netherlands. Additionally, we can assist in finding comfortable housing and help expats find a suitable school for their children.
At a happy living includes building a social network, which is why we organize events so expats can get to know each other.
We understand expats may have many questions about their new environment. Therefore, our partners organize informative meetings to explain various topics. And expats can visit our Welcome Desk free of charge if they have questions about their new living environment.

Our Special Partnerships
With the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND)
The IND has its own desk at WCFV. This allows expats to go through all important steps in one go, such as obtaining residence permits and providing biometric data.
And with the Municipality
The municipality of Wageningen also has an in-house desk. Because we often apply for a citizen service number in advance, the procedure at the municipality can proceed seamlessly in one go. This ensures very short lines and ensures that the entire process runs smoothly.
