Can my family come with me on a Dutch EU Blue Card?

The EU Blue Card is family-friendly: your partner and children can submit their residence applications simultaneously with your own, which streamlines relocation.

For applications via a recognised sponsor, the IND works to a 30-day decision period, including for family members applying alongside you. Family members will need to provide proof of their relationship to you, and foreign documents must be legalised and translated into Dutch, English, French or German.
