As an refugee you’re allowed to work in the Netherlands for 24 weeks over a period of 52 weeks. Your asylum application must be pending for at least 6 months. Furthermore you need an established employment permit (a TWV in Dutch). Consult the Dutch Government website for more information. In order to function properly in any of our jobs you must be able to speak English of Dutch fluently.
The EU has activated a 'Temporary Protection Directive'. This means that as an Ukrainian refugee you get a document from the IND stating that you’ll receive a residence permit, housing and a work permit. These permits are valid until at least April 2023.
Since not every Ukrainian refugee has received this document yet, until the 30th of May 2022, you don’t need an employment permit to work in the Netherlands. This applies to anyone who can show a Ukrainian passport or identity card.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t apply to so-called third country nationals. After this date, every new Ukrainian refugee must possess the IND-document to apply for a job. For all the requirements, visit the IND website.
