Since introduction of the single permit April 1, 2014 most applications for a work and residence permit no longer need to  be sent to different authorities (UWV and IND). The combined application can be sent to the IND who will decide on the residence permit application and asks the UWV for a decision on the work permit application.

As per July 1 combined applications for inter company transfers (incl. trainees and specialists of group companies) has been abolished and should be filed separately again.
