Specialized in Immigration Law
The Netherlands Association of Specialized Immigration Attorneys (SVMA) can answer all your questions about legal advice on immigration. Our 140 members are all professionals within their own field of immigration law and help you as best they can with procedures, problems or questions. Due to the large amount of members with different specialties there is always an attorney who can help you with your specific question.
Extended knowledge bank
The SVMA was founded in 2009 and has become a real knowledge bank in the field of immigration law, which works to your advantage. If you are looking for an immigration attorney through our association, you are sure to find the attorney you need. The members are continuously trained through the association's courses and workshops. The national and European immigration rules change regularly. The SVMA follows these changes closely and ensures that the members broaden their knowledge.

- Family reunification
- Long-term residency

We are there to answer all your questions about the Dutch and European immigration laws. The SVMA works in close collaboration with national and international partners, such as the Dutch Association of Asylum Lawyers (VAJN).
