Diploma validation
Specific immigration procedures require a credential evaluation indicating the value of a foreign diploma or study programme in the Netherlands. A comparison will be made with the Dutch educational system.
How long does it take to issue a credential evaluation and what are the costs? We can answer these questions. Furthermore, we will be able to ensure that the credential evaluation is initiated with the proper authority together with the required documents and information.
Compliance checks and audits
Legal Crossing carries out compliance checks to verify if the initiated immigration procedures, the available documentation and employers and employees are compliant with the legal requirements under Dutch immigration law.
We are able to conduct compliance checks on site at the client or on a dossier selection submitted to us by the client. Legal Crossing makes sure that all parties meet their responsibilities and compliance.
