Your Situation
How SiZA helps highly skilled migrant (kennismigrant) visa support
The Netherlands runs most of its high-skill labour intake through the Highly Skilled Migrant (Kennismigrant) route, also called the Knowledge Migrant Visa. The Indian professional’s employer must be an IND-recognised sponsor. Once the sponsor files, the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) issues the residence permit and entry visa together. Salary thresholds, 30% ruling eligibility, partner and child inclusion all sit on the employer-and-IND side.
You focus on the move; the India-side documents are our responsibility. Degree apostille, marriage certificate apostille for partner inclusion, child birth certificate apostille for dependent inclusion, PCC where the visa stream asks. Sworn Dutch translation (door een beëdigd vertaler) for documents the municipality (gemeente) or IND wants to read in Dutch. The order goes Notary, SDM or HRD by document category, MEA Attestation, MEA Apostille, then sworn Dutch translation through SiZA Multi Lingual Translators.
Common Situations
Real situations we run for this audience
Software engineer or consultant on the Kennismigrant route
Your IND-recognised sponsor (typically the Dutch entity of your employer or a Dutch staffing partner) files the Highly Skilled Migrant application on your behalf. On the India side, what gets prepared is the degree apostille, where appropriate experience attestation, and PCC apostille if the sponsor asks. Once the residence permit is approved, you collect the MVV entry visa from the Dutch consulate, fly in, and register with the municipality.
Partner and child inclusion on the same residence permit
A spouse and minor children can be included as accompanying family. The municipality (gemeente) registration after arrival reads the marriage certificate and birth certificates against the Dutch civil registry. Apostille on each Indian original is required. Sworn Dutch translation is required by most municipalities for the registration; we coordinate translation after apostille.
Gemeente registration after arrival in the Netherlands
Within five days of arrival in the Netherlands, you register with the gemeente of your residence. The gemeente reads your marriage and birth certificates in Dutch. A sworn translation from a beëdigd vertaler (sworn translator recognised by a Dutch court) is what the gemeente accepts; an Indian notary or college-stamp translation is not. We arrange the sworn Dutch translation through SiZA Multi Lingual Translators on the apostilled original.
Already in the Netherlands, originals still in India
A professional already in the Netherlands needing apostilled and sworn-translated copies for the gemeente, the IND extension, or a Schengen-family case. We coordinate with parents or the issuing institution in India, run the steps, and ship the submission to the Dutch address through a tracked international partner.

Country And Process Map
What we do in India, country by country
Notary, SDM or HRD by document category, MEA Attestation, MEA Apostille, then sworn Dutch translation by a beëdigd vertaler for documents the gemeente or IND wants to read.
Netherlands is a Hague country. The sworn-translation step is municipality-specific; we will say which documents your gemeente will need translated, not blanket-translate everything.
How SiZA handles this work
- •Reads the sponsor’s document instruction and the gemeente registration list before quoting the work
- •Apostille on the original first; sworn Dutch translation second
- •Translation through SiZA Multi Lingual Translators with beëdigd-vertaler recognition
- •Customer ID and document ID at intake; printed checklist that travels with the application
- •WhatsApp updates timed to CET hours when the customer is already in the Netherlands
- •Return courier through DHL or a tracked international partner
What SiZA does not do
- •No promise of IND approval, MVV approval or gemeente registration outcome
- •No Highly Skilled Migrant salary-threshold or 30%-ruling assessment
- •No translation before apostille on the original
- •No recruitment, no candidate placement, no sponsorship matchmaking
The Real Worry
What you are dealing with
Your IND-recognised sponsor in Eindhoven wants apostilled degree plus marriage certificate plus child birth certificates. The gemeente will want sworn Dutch translations of all three. The original marriage certificate is in your in-laws’ home in Pune. You leave in three weeks.
How SiZA addresses it
We start the apostille work on the documents we have scans of. Pune original travels to Noida with a reference number we issue. Sworn Dutch translation through a beëdigd vertaler begins the moment apostille lands. Completion photos before the documents ships to the Netherlands.
Why customers trust SiZA
Netherlands files turn on the gemeente moment. A registration appointment is short, and a sworn translation that does not meet the beëdigd-vertaler standard gets the appointment rescheduled. SiZA Multi Lingual Translators works with sworn Dutch translators to deliver what the municipality accepts on the first read.

“I live in Italy, and for immigration purpose I was asked to submit legalized marriage certificate from Italian consulate. Since I cannot personally do it, I found this agency online and contacted them. I sent them a pdf file of my marriage certificate and passport, they did everything from home department attestation, apostille, Italian translation and legalization from Italian consulate, Mumbai all within 40 days and send it to me by DHL to Italy. They were a life saver because there are only very few agencies in India who does legalization from Italian consulate. They were very professional, sent me the photo of the certificate after each step. I highly recommend them.”
