Directorate of Immigration: International protection

Can I work while my application for protection is being processed?

To be allowed to work while your application for international protection is being processed, you must be issued a provisional residence and work permit. Such a permit is only granted provisonally until a final decision has been made on your application for protection. The permit does not grant you any other rights.
