Netherlands Nursing Program: Process Duration and Timeline

Hexallt Abroad offers two pathways to help you achieve your dream of working as a nurse in the Netherlands. You can choose between the Express Process (4–5 months) and the Standard Process (6–7 months) based on your availability and pace of learning.

The main difference between the two is the intensity of language training:

  • Express Process: Full-time language learning (3 hours daily classroom instruction + 3 hours of self-study).
  • Standard Process: Part-time language learning (balanced pace with flexibility to manage other commitments).

Let’s explore both options in detail.

Express Process: Fast-Track to the Netherlands (4–5 Months)

This pathway is ideal for those who can dedicate their time fully to learning and preparation.

  1. Intensive Dutch Language Training (A1 & A2 Levels)

    • Timeline: 1.5 to 2 months
    • Details:
      Complete both A1 and A2 Dutch language levels in India at Hexallt Dutch School with an intensive schedule:
      • 3 hours of classroom learning + 3 hours of self-study daily
      • Classes 5 days a week
        This rigorous program ensures rapid language acquisition within a short time frame.
  2. Immigration & MVV Visa Processing

    • Timeline: 10 days to 2 months
    • Details:
      As you near the completion of A2 training, begin the MVV (temporary residence permit) application. The process involves submitting the necessary documents and receiving approval to travel to the Netherlands.
  3. Final Preparations & Relocation

    • Timeline: Total processing time from start to departure is 4–5 months.
    • Details:
      After receiving the MVV approval, complete the remaining formalities and prepare for your move to the Netherlands.
  4. Career Pathway

    • Upon arrival, begin working as a Verzorgende IG (Individual Healthcare Assistant) and continue to B1 language training sponsored by your employer. Transition to a Registered Nurse (RN) within 1 to 1.5 years after completing B1 training.

Standard Process: A Balanced Approach (6–7 Months)

This pathway is suited for those who prefer a steady pace, balancing language learning with other responsibilities.

  1. Dutch Language Training (A1 & A2 Levels)

      • Ideal for candidates who need flexibility while building a strong foundation in the language.
  2. Immigration & MVV Visa Processing

Choose the Express Process if:

  • You are ready to study full-time and complete the process quickly.

Choose the Standard Process if:

  • You prefer a part-time approach with a balanced timeline.
