International secondment - How to apply for an A1/E101 certificate

Applying for an A1/E101 quickly online

The quickest way to get an A1/E101 certificate is by using TWinternet. Compared to the paper form, there are far fewer details to fill in, and you will normally hear from us within a week. You can also track your application online.

It will also be easier for your representative, e.g. your tax consultant, to submit an application online.

If your company does not yet have an account for online applications, or if you have forgotten your password or username, you can apply to us for an account or a new account. We will then send you a letter with a password and username the following work day. Keep your login details safe and secure.

For some countries, applications must be made within 3 months after departure

If your employee is going to work in Australia, Croatia, Egypt, Macedonia or New Zealand, you must submit your application within 3 months after the date on which your employee left the Netherlands.

Working in Belgium temporarily

If your employee is going to work in Belgium temporarily, you have to report this in Belgium before the employment starts. You can do so using the "mandatory Limosa declaration" on the Limosa website.

Download, print and send the form in by post

Self-employed persons and companies based outside the Netherlands cannot use the online application procedure. Instead, you can download the applicaton form using one of the links below, and send in the form by post. The form is in PDF format. To read a PDF file, you need the program Acrobat Reader.

Online applications do not get special priority.
