International secondment - How to apply for an E101 certificate

Applying for an E101 quickly online

Your employer can apply for an E101 certificate quickly and simply by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page. We will issue the certificate within one week. If you are going to work outside the Netherlands for more than one year, your employer will receive the certificate within 3 months. In that case, we will first need additional information to determine whether you can be seconded. The rules differ between countries.

If you need an E101 urgently

If you cannot start working yet because you do not have an E101 certificate, we can fax the certificate to the company outside the Netherlands. Ask your employer to fill in an application form and fax it to (+31) 20 656 5888. Your employer must also state the fax number of the company outside the Netherlands and his and your telephone numbers.

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

If you are going to work in Australia, Croatia, Egypt, Macedonia or New Zealand, your employer must apply for a certificate within 3 months after the date on which you left the Netherlands.

You are going to start working in Belgium

If you are going to work in Belgium temporarily, your employer must report this in Belgium before your employment starts, using the mandatory Limosa declaration. Your employer can do this via the Limosa website.
