For our third event, we aim to shed light and inform ourselves on the application procedure for acquiring a&nbsp;<b>residence permit for self-employed artists<\/b>. How do you get a residence permit to work as an artist in the Netherlands? What are the requirements and costs for applying? What are the important points you need to focus on for making a fool-proof application? When do you need to get started with preparing your application?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a non-EU art student who just graduated or if you are almost reaching the end of your search-year (zoekjaar)&nbsp;visa, this session will help you to orientate your next steps towards staying in the Netherlands. DIWAN invites immigration lawyer Nikki Vreede who has experience in assisting non-EU creatives in applying for their artist residence permit. She will share information with us about the procedure towards applying for this specific residence permit: who can apply, what is the paperwork needed, what are the costs, how long does it take to get a response, and what happens after receiving the response, in case of rejection or approval. The session will be divided to include ample time for direct and case-specific questions from the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event will be moderated by members of DIWAN with the support of the W139 team.

The platform\u2019s foundational focus is to facilitate navigating the Dutch art scene for post-graduate artists and curators, and tackle the collective struggles of residency permits, housing, and project funding, amongst others. DIWAN departs from the common experiences of its founders and seeks to stimulate public discursive events and knowledge exchanges that relate to these issues.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DIWAN for Arts and Dialogue deals with urgencies and pressing questions which the art field, institutions, and practitioners are confronted with.
