Remember to keep an eye on when your work permit expires. It is your own responsibility to send a new work permit and preferably in good time before your second one expires, as our system automatically closes your rider profile based on the date on the previous document.
If you have a work permit Z or visa D, we set up your rider profile so that you can only work 20 hours a week, which are the conditions for these types of work permits. If you have documents that state that it is permissible for you to work more than the 20 hours per week, please send it to [email protected]. In the summer months, it is permitted to work more than the 20 hours, whereby we set up your profile to be able to work more weekly (We point out that there may be ongoing changes to this).
