Entrepreneurs, Creatives & Freelancers

I worked with Stephan on two different occasions, which in itself says a lot.

He was able to handle my case almost entirely on his own. He was quick, thorough and attentive. I will certainly be returning back to Stephan should I have any immigration issues in the future.

Andy Yu | Architect - Australia

When I first contacted Stephan Roelofs in regard to my Self-Employment Visa application, he immediately struck me as a very knowledgeable, genuinely understanding and highly-skilled professional.

Dealing with such applications can be very intimidating, but with Stephan representing me, I felt guided throughout the entire process. He provided me with lots of much needed and rather indispensable advice, presented me with my options and managed to secure a positive decision regarding my case. Stephan is a pleasure to deal with on both a professional and personal level. He has impeccable work ethics and is a true expert in his field. He always provided me with detailed and timely information, guiding me through every step of the way. Without a doubt, he would be an incredible asset to anyone trying to secure their future in The Netherlands.

Ielyzaveta Sokol | Photographer & Grapic Designer - Ukraine

Our business: We are an ecommerce company specializing in Projector Lamps for digital projectors and we sell via our website MyProjectorLamps.eu.

The Canadian owners of the company needed assistance in applying for a business visa under the Points-based Visa Program for freelancers and entrepreneurs. We reached out to Stephan for assistance in this application procedure. He was very prompt to reply, very courteous and very professional. He always had time to answer our questions. The procedure was very long and required multiple appeals. However, Stephan was always very positive and organized. We recommend his law services to anyone, especially expats seeking this type of service.

Pavan Singh | Business Owner & Developer - Canada

Stephan is great. I strongly recommend his services for anyone looking to migrate to The Netherlands. We started with a consultation call while I was still living in Australia.

He walked me through the process for the application and helped me to obtain the necessary legal documentation from the US and Australia. He also assisted me in navigating through the Dutch bureaucracy, even setting up the necessary appointments for me to visit various government agencies while translating Dutch language communications. He made the process efficient, easy-to-understand and most importantly non-stressful!

Lloyd Miner | Senior Digital Marketer & Consultant - U.S.A.

Stephan assisted me in applying for a self employed permit under the Points-based Visa Program for freelancers and entrepreneurs.

During the process, Stephan was very helpful and eventually succeeded with high scores.

Hsiang-Ching Chuang | Contextual Designer - Taiwan

I am beyond grateful to Stephan for all of his help over the years. Stephan obtained a positive result in my visa application under the Points-based Visa Program for freelancers and entrepreneurs, a result I never thought possible even with Stephan's constant positivity throughout the process.

He’s since helped four of my friends remain in The Netherlands and he's about to help a fifth. I found his honest and practical approach so supportive. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone wishing to migrate to the amazing lowlands.

Micala Hutchison | Freelance Graphic Designer - Australia

Right after my master graduation in The Netherlands, I was very lucky to find Susanne Mooij to help me obtain a residence permit through the Points-based Visa Program for freelancers and entrepreneurs.

With limited work experience, submitting a convincing application was a big challenge for me. From our very first meeting, Susanne was positive about the outcome. She provided me with clear guidance and unwavering support throughout the whole application process.

Lilia Iosilevich | Project Manager & Creative Strategist Cultural Sector - Russia

Being a freelance designer in a niche field can make it extremely difficult to obtain a visa in a foreign country.

Luckily, we were referred to Stephan Roelofs by another freelancer who had recently successfully applied for the Points-based Visa Program for freelancers and entrepreneurs. Stephan was so helpful from day one. He gave my wife and me a feeling of confidence in our case due to his professionalism and extensive successful case history. Even when we had doubts about our application, Stephan gave us reassurance that we had a solid case. We have now secured our visa and are excited to call The Netherlands home for the next two years. All of this would not have been possible without the help and perseverance of Stephan.

Devon Moodley | Freelance Motion Graphics Designer - New Zealand

After two years in The Netherlands, where I obtained my Master degree in the Design Academy in Eindhoven, I decided to stay longer to build my artistic career in the Dutch environment.

To achieve that, I needed to apply for a Freelance VISA. It was a pure pleasure to work with Susanne Mooij on my application. All of the pertinent information and requirements for the VISA were addressed by Susanne in an accessible way, along with useful tips, hints and contacts. And all of that was spiced up by Susanne’s great sense of humor. Any of my questions and doubts that popped up during the document preparation process...no matter how spontaneous and random...were immediately addressed and clearly explained. As a result, in a fast, smooth and efficient way together with Susanne, I was granted the required VISA, which guaranteed my further stay in The Netherlands and provided a solid spot in the Dutch art and design scene.
