The World Trade Center Twente is currently in the process of setting up the Expat Center Twente. The pilot phase has started on July 1st 2012 and last until January 1st 2013. The aim of the Expat Center Twente is to realise a fast and smooth introduction of expats and their families and helping them to get settled in the Twente region.
Once the co-operation with the local authorities and the Dutch immigration office is arranged, the Expat Center will offer a one- or a two-stop procedure for all the documents that expats need upon their arrival. Furthermore, it will offer other services, such as help with housing, taxation, finance & insurance, education & careers etc. The Expat Center will organise, together with its regional partners, informative meetings for expats and their partners. Last, but not least, it also aims to create an international community by bringing together expats from different countries with culture and leisure activities. It will, therefore, be a full-service center based on three pillars: Formalities, Services and Social Activities.
