Core offering

Dutch Expat is a professional services firm that helps Turkish professionals obtain Netherlands residence and work permits under the high-skilled migrant (Kennismigratie) program. The core offering matches clients with IND-approved Dutch employers, manages the work contract legal advisory and end-to-end permit application, and provides bundled post-arrival services (welcome, accommodation, municipal registration, family/school enrollment, career monitoring, company establishment). Engagements are paid via multi-stage milestone fees with a free initial eligibility assessment via the Dutchy chatbot.

Product overview

Dutch Expat is a service-based immigration consulting company (not a software product company) offering a unified platform of immigration and relocation services for Turkish professionals seeking to work and live in the Netherlands. The core offering centers on the Yüksek Nitelikli Göçmenlik Danışmanlık Hizmeti (High-Skilled Immigration Consulting Service), which encompasses legal advisory for work contracts, residence and work permit processing, and employer matching with IND-approved sponsors. Additional support modules include accommodation assistance, municipal registration services, family and school enrollment support, career monitoring services, company establishment advisory for family members, and airport welcome services. A client-facing Career Management Portal (Kariyer Yönetim Yazılımı) provides applicants with a login interface to track their application status.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Broad incumbents

• Velocity Global: Global EOR and immigration services provider supporting companies hiring internationally in 185+ countries. Comparable in providing immigration sponsorship infrastructure but as a broad incumbent serving multinational corporations rather than a Turkey-focused boutique.
• Remote: Global HR platform providing EOR, contractor management, and international hiring including visa/immigration support in Europe. Comparable to Dutch Expat in facilitating employer-sponsored work authorization, but at much larger scale and broader geographic coverage.
• Deel: Global employment platform offering Employer of Record services across 150+ countries, with embedded immigration and visa sponsorship capabilities. Comparable because it competes for the same cross-border employment relationship, but operates as a broad incumbent rather than a Turkey-Netherlands specialist.
• Globalization Partners: Enterprise-focused global EOR provider with established immigration services across Europe including the Netherlands. Overlap with Dutch Expat in matching workers to Dutch employers and managing immigration compliance, though targeting larger enterprise clients.

Emerging players

• Localyze: Immigration and global mobility SaaS platform helping companies sponsor international hires, with strong presence in Europe including Germany and the Netherlands. Directly comparable to Dutch Expat in providing employer-sponsored work permit services, though targeting the HR/employer side rather than the individual migrant.
• WorkMotion: Berlin-based global HR platform offering EOR, visa, and relocation services across Europe with strong focus on Germany and EU destinations. Comparable in providing cross-border work permit sponsorship for individual migrants relocating to Europe.
• Boundless: Immigration services platform assisting individuals with visa applications, green cards, and citizenship. Comparable in being an immigration-focused service provider helping individuals navigate complex permit processes, though primarily US-focused.
• Multiplier: Global employment platform offering EOR, PEO, and immigration services including contractor management. Comparable in providing cross-border employment infrastructure, but with a more productized, self-serve approach versus Dutch Expat's high-touch consulting model.
• Jobbatical: Tech-focused immigration platform specializing in work permits, residence permits, and global mobility for companies and individuals. Comparable cross-border immigration and relocation offering, though with broader destination coverage and a more digital-first delivery model.
• GoGlobal: Global immigration and employer of record services firm helping companies hire and relocate talent internationally. Directly comparable in providing work permit sponsorship and immigration compliance services, particularly for European destinations.
