Professional assistance with visa and residence permit applications
Applying for a visa or residence permit can be complicated. Move with IRIS guides you through this process step by step. We ensure that all documents are correctly completed, submitted and followed up on your behalf. This reduces the risk of delays and/or rejection, allowing you to focus on your new start. Are you moving with your partner and children? We also offer support for family reunification, including advice on school systems and so on.
Help with registrations and accommodation
When you arrive in a new country, you must register with the local authority where you will be living. Move with IRIS takes care of these administrative procedures and helps you find suitable accommodation. We work closely with local estate agents who have experience in helping expats find homes. Whether you’re looking for temporary accommodation or a long-term rental, we’ll make sure you feel at home in no time.
Tax advice and financial support
Tax legislation can often be a challenge for newcomers. With our expat service, you gain access to expert tax advice. We assess your personal circumstances and assist you, for example, with the possible application of the 30% tax relief scheme.
Insurance and banking support
An important part of settling in a new country is arranging the right insurance cover. Move with IRIS can advise you on taking out health, home contents and liability insurance, amongst other things. We can also tell you more about opening a bank account, to ensure your payments and payroll run smoothly.
Guidance reports and personalised support
Every expat’s situation is unique. That is why we offer a bespoke service in the form of a personalised advisory report, which sets out all the key points to help you keep track of everything. It also details all the steps you need to take when moving, including important dates, contact details and practical tips. We remain involved throughout the entire process, so you can always count on our reliable support.

During an (initial) consultation, we will map out your wishes, after which you will receive a transparent and personal proposal from us. This way, you know exactly what to expect beforehand.
