Expat Center Twente

Expat Center Twente takes care of individual expats as well as companies that work with knowledge migrants. Expats and HR staff can contact the Expat Center for information and customer-oriented support for everything that comes with an international relocation, such as formalities, housing, education, healthcare, insurance aspects and social and cultural affairs. Expat Center Twente can be found every week at the municipal office in Enschede, Twente, at the combined counter. This is where they assist expats together with the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND), the government agency that implements the Dutch immigration policy. It handles applications from foreigners and assesses whether these expats can obtain a residence permit. The Expat Center regularly organises information meetings and events for expats and internationally operating companies. One of these events is the monthly Expat Meet & Greet.
