What is the recognition of Dutch chefs?

Handling the examination and approval of Dutch chefs is an immigration plan established by the Dutch government to solve the shortage of chefs. The plan aims to attract foreign chefs with skills and professional cooking skills to work in the Netherlands. The approval of Dutch chefs requires the following steps and conditions:

1. Job opportunities: You need to find a Dutch employer who is willing to hire you first. Employers need to submit an application to UUV to prove that they can't find a suitable chef of Dutch or EU nationality to fill the vacancy in the local or European Economic Area.

2. Apply for chef certification: Once your employer gets permission from UUV, they can submit your application for chef certification to the Dutch Immigration Bureau. In the application, you need to provide relevant documents, such as employment contract, salary, etc.

3. Requirements: To apply for the recognition of Dutch chefs, you need to meet some conditions, such as professional cooking skills, relevant work experience and academic background. In addition, you may need to prove your ability through interviews and skill evaluation.

4. Visa application: Once the Dutch Immigration Bureau has approved your application for chef approval, you can apply for a work visa at the Dutch embassy or consulate in your country.
