Purposes of stay for which the IND may grant a residence permit are:

• recognition as a refugee
• family reunion 
• family visit
• unaccompanied minor foreigner
• children’s amnesty
• no-fault residence permit
• medical treatment
• study
• work
• residence as au pair
• victim of human trafficking

You can expect clear and sound advice from me, and this is vital because the IND applies the admission rules very strictly. Applying for a residence permit will be fruitless if you do not meet strict criteria. I can design a step-by-step plan with you so that you can clearly see how you can meet the admission criteria and qualify for a residence permit.

I can also represent your interests if the IND intends to revoke your residence permit and/or impose an entry ban, for example because of a criminal conviction.

Foreigners who the Dutch government deems to be illegal are expected to return to their country of origin. If, in the opinion of the State Secretary of Justice a foreigner obstructs his return and evades supervision, there is a real possibility that he may be detained for the purpose of deportation. This is a kind of administrative detention. On your behalf I can appeal to the Court; the Court will then review the lawfulness of the detention.

If your application for a visa or residence permit is rejected, or if your visa or residence permit is revoked, I can initiate proceedings against the IND and take your case to court.
