Move with IRIS specializes in immigration and expat services, but we are not a recruitment or employment agency. Therefore, we do not assist in job placement.

For instance, are you only looking for assistance with a visa application, or do you want complete peace of mind including housing, tax advice, and registrations? 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.
