Recognition of foreign diplomas in The Netherlands

Read the information for pharmacists, pharmacy assistants and technicians with a non-Dutch diploma who wish to work in The Netherlands.

The pharmacy profession is regulated in The Netherlands. This means that access to this profession is regulated by law. Therefore, pharmacists with a non-Dutch diploma who wish to work in The Netherlands as a pharmacist need the approval of the Dutch authorities.

This website outlines which steps you must undertake in order to be allowed to practise a regulated profession in The Netherlands. Follow the links in Professionalrecognition.nl. They will lead you to the address of the Dutch authority to which you should apply. Pharmacy assistants and technicians follow the same steps.
