Am I entitled to work in the EU?

Do you want to work in the Netherlands via Upforce? Then it's important that you are entitled to work within the EU. That might sound complicated. That's why we're happy to explain it simply. This way, you'll quickly know if you can apply for our vacancies.

You are entitled to work in the EU if:

• You have the nationality of a country within the European Union (EU): Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain, Czech Republic or Sweden.
• You have the nationality of one of the countries within the European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) or Switzerland.
• A valid Dutch residence permit that allows you to work.

You are not permitted to work in the EU if you:

• You are a national of a country outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland and do not have a residence permit that allows you to work in the Netherlands.
• First, you need a work permit or visa to be allowed to work in the Netherlands.
