12 12 BUSINESS & FINANCE IND New Procedures for Residence Permits The IND has opened nine regional offices in the autumn of 2007 to assume the immigration tasks that were formerly processed by the local municipalities (gemeenten). The IND-loket that services the Northern Netherlands was opened on 24 September 2007 and is located at Zuiderzeelaan in Zwolle. If foreigners from non-eu countries who come to the Netherlands for work purposes (labor migrants, arbeidsmigranten) would like to request a residence permit, they can no longer go to the local gemeente to submit the application, nor receive the residence sticker or pick up the residence permit card there. They must call the national IND telephone number ( , 0,10 per minute) to make an appointment, and go to the regional IND office to submit their application and receive the residence sticker. To collect the residence permit card, an appointment is not necessary, but it must be collected at the regional office as well. Highly-skilled migrants (kennismigranten) who apply in person for a residence permit must go to the IND office at Sir Winston Churchilllaan 293 in Rijswijk. The telephone number to make an appointment is (070) ( 0,10 per minute). If the application is submitted by mail, the highly-skilled migrant can make an appointment to collect the residence sticker from the regional IND office after the application has been received. The residence card can also be collected at the regional office, but no appointment is necessary. In contrast to the previous situation, foreigners will now be required to register with the local gemeente before applying for a residence permit. They should receive a form from the gemeente called 'Proof of Preliminary Registration' (Bewijs van Bekendmaking bij de GBA) which should be submitted along with the residence permit application to the IND. The regional offices are located at the following addresses: 1. Zwolle - Zuiderzeelaan 43-51, 8017 JV Zwolle 2.
