You or your employer apply for a Single Permit. This is a permit that allows a foreign national to stay and work in the Netherlands. The Single Permit combines the residence permit and the TWV.

assesses the request for advice based on the criteria of the Foreign Nationals Employment Act (Wav). The IND takes a decision on the basis of the
advice of UWV. If the decision is positive and the Single Permit is issued, the
IND will inform you accordingly.
The Single Permit consists of a residence permit and an additional document that states for which employer the foreign national is permitted to work and under which conditions.
