Statement recognised sponsor labour due to European sanctions
Statement about ties with companies on sanctions list
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. That is why the IND asks all recognised sponsors labour to fill in a one-time statement. In this statement, you declare whether or not your company has ties with Russian and/or Belarusian companies.
Statement is part of application
The statement is part of the online and written application forms as of 27 May 2022. You do not need to send a separate individual statement to the IND anymore. Have you sent us the statement already? In order to process your application quickly, we ask you to also fill in the statement included in the application form.
Consequences of sanctions
Is your company affiliated with a Russian or Belarusian parent company on the sanctions list? The IND is still examining the possible consequences of this for the residence permits that you are applying for or have applied for.
