First time traveling for work?

Is it your first time going to the Netherlands for a new job with DB Work? If you've never been abroad before, or have never experienced such a big change, our recruitment team has some tips for you. 

General information about going abroad

When traveling to the Netherlands through DB Work, but also to any other country, there are several things to consider as you will have to travel by plane or bus for many hours. You need to be careful about how you pack your luggage and what documents you take with you. 

Transport with DB Work to The Netherlands

Here are some important details and tips about international transport.

- If you travel by bus or car, you won't be so limited in terms of luggage, you'll be able to take more things with you, but you'll have to last a few dozen hours on your journey.

- If you take the plane, be prepared for your flight, because both the luggage you take with you and everything you carry will be subject to rigorous checks at the airport. Find out how many kilos your luggage weighs and don't take prohibited items with you.

- Make sure that whichever method of transport you choose to use to get to The Netherlands, your important papers or ID and passport are not stored in the same place. Losing both documents proving your identity is not desirable.

- Always carry your travel ticket, mediation contract, contact details and accommodation address with you.

Travel safety tips

All DB Work employees have always arrived at their destination safely thanks to the efficient way we ensure each of them knows the process inside out, but to supplement what already works great, here are some tips to consider for your safety.

• Always be prepared to charge your mobile phone in case it runs out of battery. A charger or an easily accessible external battery could always help. Moreover, it is recommended to download city maps to keep your bearings in places with poor internet.
• Memorize a few important areas of the city and try to quickly learn how you can ask for directions to the area.
• To make sure you don't miss anything until the first salary installment is established according to the contract, make sure you have some cash on you, preferably in euros.

Many of these tips may be necessary in isolated cases, but when it comes to DB Work contracts, our employees benefit from many advantages. We offer guides and advice for registration in The Netherlands, transport and accommodation included, a contract signed before arriving in the Netherlands, work equipment, and much more.
