    Ukraine

    The following information is for Ukrainians in the north, and includes details about emergency shelters, legal stay, news items, ways to help, governmental information, information for Ukrainians in the Netherlands, and other useful links in the Northern Netherlands.

    Recognized Sponsors for labour purposes must file new IND statement

    The European Union has introduced various sanctions against Russia and Belarus. This may also have effects on companies in the Netherlands that have ties with Russian and/or Belarusian companies.

    The IND is therefore asking all recognised sponsors for labour purposes (employers) to fill in a statement about possible ties with Russian and/or Belarusian companies.

    The statement and instructions for submitting the statement can be found at this link on the IND website.
