Outgoing mobility

Do you have a Dutch qualification and want to practise your profession in another country? In some cases, you will have to follow a recognition procedure in the country where you intend to live and work. The step-by-step plan below gives you a quick idea of which situation applies in your case.

Step 1

Do you want to work in one of the member states of the European Union, Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland or Switzerland?

  • Yes: go to step 2.
  • No, I intend to go to another country: if you wish, you can ask Nuffic to provide a diploma description.


Step 2

The website of the European Commission provides a list of regulated professions in each member state. Is your profession regulated in the country where you intend to work?

  • Yes: for further information, contact the National Contact Point (NCP) for Professional Recognition in the country where you intend to work.

  • No: you are free to enter the labour market. If you wish, you can ask Nuffic to provide a diploma description.
