Can I work in the Netherlands on a student residence permit?

As an employed student you may work a maximum of 16 hours per week during the academic year, or alternatively full-time during the summer months of June to August. You cannot combine both in the same period. Your employer must first obtain a work permit (TWV) from the UWV.

Different rules apply if you work as a self-employed person, where there is no TWV requirement, and to internships that form part of your curriculum, which do not need a separate work permit.
