What happens after you apply?

  1. 01

  2. 02

    A call to get to know you

    If there's a fit, we schedule a short call. No pressure, no sales pitch, just an honest conversation about your situation and the route ahead.

  3. 03

    Your personalised pathway plan

    We map out your specific route: which language training, which recognition steps, which timeline. Everything written down, nothing vague.

  4. 04

    Language training begins

    You start Dutch training in India, with a certified institute. We monitor progress and stay in touch the whole way through.

  5. 05

    You arrive, supported

    Housing arranged, named contact on your team, community around you. The first day in the Netherlands is prepared, not improvised.

Real questions, straight answers

Will I drown in paperwork?
No. We handle the Indian, EU, and Dutch paperwork with you, on the page and in person. You'll always know the next step.
Will I be on my own over there?
No. You arrive to housing, a named contact on your team, and a community both local and from the Indian diaspora. A life outside the hospital is part of the plan.
Do I need Dutch before I apply?
No. Language training comes first, before you travel. You reach the level your role needs while still at home.
Will my qualification count?
We guide you through credential evaluation and the BIG-register route, so it's formally recognised here.
What will it cost me?
We're clear about every step and cost from the first conversation. No hidden fees, no surprises.
What happens after I apply?
We review your application and email you within two working days. If there's a fit, we schedule a call to walk you through the pathway in detail; no commitment needed at that stage.
