You can tell from the meeting that Arend is skilled at what he does. Before reaching out to him, I had contacted another immigration lawyer, which turned into a bad experience, and I managed to get a full refund. I tend to be relatively discerning, but Arend handled my initial inquiry thoroughly and provided all the relevant information catered to my situation. I didn’t move forward with additional services because they weren’t really necessary in my case, but based on that first interaction alone, I would definitely recommend him and Orion.

Our experience with Arend and Charley from Orion Immigration Lawyers was outstanding, particularly because our case was not considered straightforward by immigration officials. We asked countless questions throughout the process, and Orion was consistently available with clear, knowledgeable, and practical insights whenever we needed them. They struck exactly the right balance between professionalism and lightheartedness, which helped keep us focused and confident during a sometimes rollercoaster process. Most importantly, they were quick to step in and respond to questions from immigration officials, preventing delays and keeping the case moving forward. We felt very supported at every stage and would highly recommend Orion Immigration Lawyers for complex immigration matters.

I am super happy and grateful for all the advice and help I have received over the years from my immigration lawyer Arend van Rosmalen. I have gone through quite a few tricky situations, involving a break-up, change of residence permit, and a naturalization process during which I also had tons of questions. All this is now finally behind me as I have become a Dutch citizen, even being allowed to keep my original nationalities! Arend is extremely resourceful, knowledgeable and careful when it comes to immigration and citizenship in the Netherlands. Besides this, he is very understanding of how his clients feel (stressfull, mostly). To me, it was such a great relief to have him as my lawyer, and I recommend to any expat in the Netherlands to contact Arend van Rosmalen for any immigration-related matters.

Geweldig geholpen door mw nieuwesteeg , ze heeft zich vol ingezet voor onze zaak , en we hebben gewonnen en dit had ons niet gelukt zonder haar hulp . We zijn eeuwig dankbaar en raden dan ook iedereen Orion immigration aan !

Excellent service. We had a very pleasant conversation, and the procedure was very clear afterward. We were kept informed every step of the way, and the process was ultimately completed successfully. It's incredibly powerful that this office knows the rules and is straightforward about how things should proceed. They don't sugarcoat things, and they're very helpful.

I worked with Charley Nieuwesteeg during my residence permit extension process, and her guidance brought real clarity and peace of mind throughout what can be a difficult journey. The application took time, and having her steady support made a meaningful difference. She was consistently responsive, patient, informative, and reassuring, and I always felt comfortable reaching out with questions. I genuinely sensed her dedication to achieving a successful outcome, and that level of commitment really stood out. I’d gladly recommend her to anyone looking for trusted Dutch immigration support.

I am very happy to share that I received permanent residence thanks to the excellent work of Arend van Rosmalen and Charley Nieuwesteeg from Orion. My case was complex, with many different stages in my stay in the Netherlands, including studies, a search year, and several short-term work contracts. Arend and Charley carefully reviewed my full situation and explained the possible scenarios and requirements in advance. Since my family also joined me, their study and work plans were taken into account as well. With Orion’s clear guidance, every step was well planned and timely in order to meet the Dutch immigration legal requirements. Orion's thorough and professional approach gave me confidence and led to a positive and logical outcome. I am very grateful for their support.

Charley and Arend provided us with clear advice based on their expertise, which guided us while making our choices. They took their time to think through all the permutations we face and were very responsive and efficient in processing our applications.

Arend is a great and highly professional lawyer who provided continuous support throughout my immigration process. He was instrumental in helping me extend my visa, allowing me to stay in the country legally while I searched for a job, which gave me real peace of mind during a stressful time. He is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and thorough, yet also warm and easy to communicate with. Regardless of where you come from, Arend ensures you receive the highest level of service. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of expert immigration support.

They provide clear, effective solutions and are readily accessible, responding to all inquiries with remarkable speed.

Charley Nieuwesteeg and partners made the immigration process so seamless. They are so knowledgeable and they have established relationships with immigration tax attorneys and relocation specialists to see you through the entire process. I have heard horror stories from others looking to immigrate to the Netherlands. My story was a success story, thanks to Charley and team. I cannot write a review that is glowing enough for these beautiful, talented, and deeply capable people.

Charley and Arend played a vital role in helping me obtain permanent residency in the Netherlands. It was always very focused and efficient communication, and we were able to work together to come up with a clear roadmap. I'm more than happy with the results.

Arend has just obtained my permanent residence permit for me, and I am truly touched by his dedication and impressed by his capability. He is not only highly experienced but also has sharp and unique insights, which allow him to provide precise and exceptional service. He is warm, kind, and genuinely supportive of his clients. His professional skills are truly top-tier. I am very fortunate to have him as my immigration lawyer. Charlie is equally outstanding and has also helped me in the past. I will gladly recommend both of them to my friends and wish them even greater success in their future careers.

This was my second experience with your company, but this time with a different employee. The experience was great — Arend was very responsive, clearly explained all the steps, and proactively followed up when needed.

Wij waren in Nederland op zoek naar een expert op het gebied van nationaliteiten en kregen van een bevriende advocaat het adres door van Arend en Charley. Wij hadden gehoord dat wij aan het begin stonden van een lange en lastige procedure en wij zochten daarom iemand dat ons gerust kon stellen en ons met alle stappen van de procedure kon begeleiden. Van het allereerste geprek herinner ik mij de hele rustige en open houding van Arend en Charley. Dat gaf meteen hoop en vertrouwen. Arend en Charley hebben eerst de tijd genomen om alle stappen van de procedure duidelijk te identificeren en aan ons uit te leggen. Vervolgens hebben zij ons bij elke stap begeleid. De procedure heeft voor ons inderdaad jaren geduurd. Gelukkig waren Arend en Charley altijd beschikbaar op het moment dat we ze echt nodig hadden: met degelijk advies en steeds aanwezig en betrokken. Voor ons is de procedure nu met succes afgerond. Wij hebben geluk gehad dat we de procedure met Arend en Charley zijn begonnen. Ondanks de onzekerheid en de momenten van stress die we onderweg hebben gekend, kijken met plezier terug op de samenwerking deze uitstekende en betrokken adviseurs.

I’m currently being represented by Orion Immigration Law, working closely with Arend van Rosmalen and Charley Nieuwesteeg, for my Dutch self-employment residence permit and family applications. Although my case is still being reviewed by the IND, I would already like to share my appreciation for the exceptional level of service, care, and professionalism provided so far. Arend and Charley have been thorough, organized, and incredibly responsive throughout the process — from structuring the assignment to preparing the IND and RVO documentation, reviewing my business plan in detail, and guiding me through every administrative and legal step. They communicate clearly, always explain the reasoning behind each requirement, and ensure that all documents are fully compliant. Even when unexpected matters arose — such as the timing of our newborn’s registration or IND procedural clarifications — they handled everything swiftly and with great attention to detail. Their combination of legal expertise and genuine client care makes a complex process feel manageable and transparent. I truly appreciate their strategic guidance and the time they invest in every step of the application. I highly recommend Orion Immigration Law to anyone seeking trusted, knowledgeable, and responsive legal support for Dutch immigration — especially for entrepreneurship or self-employment permits. — Tsovinar Mirzoyan

I had a great experience working with Orion Immigration Law for my Dutch residence and work permit process. Arend was extremely professional, patient, and clear in his communication — he guided me through every step and made the whole process much smoother and faster than I expected. Thanks to his detailed instructions and quick responses, everything went very smoothly from start to finish.

The lawyers are very familiar with Dutch immigration law and various types of residence permits, and has provided me with excellent and unique advice. They also have extensive experience dealing with the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) and a strong record of successful cases. Arend can truly be considered one of the top immigration lawyers in the Netherlands, and Charly is also outstanding.

Professional, friendly, caring, and results-driven. Both Arend van Rosmalen and Charley Nieuwesteeg have worked on my Start-up visa and self-employed visa, and I highly recommend them for all your immigration services in the Netherlands. Arend and Charley are great listeners, and during the stressful immigration process, they provide clear, calm, and accurate advice.

Orion had helpen us with a Legal case. They do that with passion and sensitivity, empathie and with a keen eye for the Human side of the case. Thank you very much!

Our case was handled very smoothly. The communication was clear, sharp and fast. All expectations were met. Thank you!

After studying and receiving a job offer in the Netherlands, I invited my family to join me. I have been using the services of Orion for the careful and correct planning of our stay. The Netherlands is a wonderful country with tremendous opportunities for children in all stages of education, as well as for professionals to grow in their careers and personal lives. However, it is very important to understand the country’s precise immigration rules to build a secure and sustainable future here. Orion, represented by Mr. Arend van Rosmalen and Ms. Charley Nieuwesteeg, has done an excellent job for us—from the first open brainstorming sessions to finding and implementing the most favorable solutions for our complex family situation, including children in primary, secondary, and university education, as well as my partner with a cross-border profession. The Netherlands is a country of great opportunities at the center of international business, science, and relations. To take advantage of these opportunities, it is important to have an experienced and business-minded legal advisor like Orion at your side.

Charley was very helpful in giving alternative solutions, even options I was not aware of, while patiently explaining each option step by step. She is proactive and very kind, making it easier for me to navigate the challenging situation. I truly appreciate her friendly and reassuring approach, making the whole process feel much less intimidating.

Charley has been very helpful in providing legal expertise on immigration matters. She’s quick to respond, could answer all my questions and is goes the the extra mile when needed.

Charley provided clear and concise advice in an area of law (Dutch residency/partner visa) which is complex and difficult to understand. I had received advice from other advisors and was completely confused until I spoke to Charley! I would not hesitate to recommend her. She is one of the best immigration advisors I have worked with.
