Immigration law
Immigration law sees to the entry and residence of non-Dutch citizens, or aliens. Visas, residence permits, withdrawal of residence permits, alien’s detention and the expulsion of foreign nationals, these are all subjects that are regulated by immigration law.
Immigration law is no longer the subject of only national (Dutch) law. Traditionally, the influence of international treaties has been great. The UN Refugee Convention, European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and the Dutch American Friendship Treaty are examples of international legislation that has left their mark on domestic immigration law. In the past two decades in particular, EU law has had an unprecedented influence on Dutch immigration law. This all means that immigration law has multiple dimensions and is constantly in in motion (never a dull moment!).
Specialist knowledge of this field of law with all its quirks and idiosyncrasies is not a luxury but a necessity. Arslan|Lit’s immigration lawyers have been working in immigration law for two decades.
