The One Stop Shop for knowledge migrants in Zeeland

A friendly reminder: the One Stop Shop for knowledge migrants in Zeeland

Since January 2025, Zeeland has had a One Stop Shop for knowledge migrants in Zeeland. It has been up and running for a while now, but a little reminder never hurts, so here is a shout-out to make sure everyone knows what it is and how it works.

What is the One Stop Shop?
The Zeeland International Center (ZIC) is based in Goes, where we provide expat services alongside our support for internationals and their families. The One Stop Shop is part of this. Knowledge migrants who start work with a recognised sponsor collect their residence permit from the IND in Goes. Straight afterwards, they can register at the same location, and that registration is valid for all municipalities in Zeeland. No separate steps at different counters, no lost time.

For employers and relocation agencies: attracting highly skilled talent from abroad becomes faster and clearer, and your new colleagues arrive in Zeeland well prepared and ready to start.

For knowledge migrants: you can arrange the essentials quickly and efficiently in one go, so you can focus on settling in and starting your new job.

Help us spread the word!
We notice that not every company knows about this yet, especially companies and relocation agencies based outside Zeeland. Yet they are often the ones guiding knowledge migrants to our region. Are you an employer, or are you moving to Zeeland for work yourself? Do you know someone who is? Please share this message with your network and help us show Zeeland at its best.

And there’s more to come
The One Stop Shop is just the start: we are also working on expanding our services. More on that soon, so keep an eye on our newsletter!
