Organization
The Netherlands Association of Specialized Immigration Attorneys (SVMA) was established in 2009 with the aim to promote the highest standards of professional practice for attorneys in the field of immigration law. Asylum law, regular immigration law, immigration retention, and nationality law are all part of immigration law.
The board consists of a minimum of three members who are appointed by the General Assembly. The board meets at least once per month and is concerned with organizing meetings and educational opportunities for its members, and shares or exchanges relevant information to members and third parties. The board also decides which attorneys can be admitted as a member and makes sure that membership records are kept up to date. Moreover, the board represents the interests of its members if need be. You will find more information on procedures within the articles of the association.
Members of the SVMA pay an annual membership fee. Prospective members pay a moderated rate. Prospective and full members can participate in workshops and lectures; only full members have voting rights in the General Assembly. The SVMA works together with various national and international organizations that are active in the field of immigration law. The SVMA makes a firm stand for the interests of its members and its members' clients.
