Delivery and van driver Jobs in the Netherlands for EU Citizens: No Work Permit Needed (2026)

Who this page is for. You are a citizen of an EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland - or you are from Ukraine and registered under temporary protection. In both cases you may take up work in the Netherlands without a work permit, and the employer files nothing for you. For EU, EEA and Swiss citizens that is free movement of workers; for Ukrainians under temporary protection it is immediate access to the labour market, currently until 4 March 2028. If you are from outside the EU and not under protection, this page is not about you - the page for foreign workers is.

Working as a delivery and van driver here usually means starting your shift early, loading your vehicle with parcels or goods, and following a planned route to drop them off at homes or businesses. You will spend a lot of time behind the wheel, navigating busy streets, finding parking in tight spaces, and interacting briefly with customers at their doors. It is active work that requires good time management, patience in traffic, and the ability to handle packages safely throughout all kinds of weather.

You will typically see openings advertised by independent transport companies, local courier services, and larger logistics firms that manage fleets of vans. These employers often look for reliable drivers who can work independently, keep to strict schedules, and use digital delivery scanners or apps to track each drop. If you already have the right to live and work in the country, you can apply directly to these transport businesses to find a route that fits your schedule.

What employers in the Netherlands tend to ask for

Registration. Register your address with the local authority once you arrive - that is the same step a national takes when moving house, and it is what unlocks a tax number and a bank account.

Pay

We do not print wages on this page. The adverts we collect do not carry them reliably, and a number we could not stand behind would be worse than none. Pay in the Netherlands is set by collective agreements in most of these trades; the employer's advert, or the union for the sector, is where the real figure is.

Nobody may charge you for this

You need no permit, so there is nothing for an agent to "arrange". If anyone asks you for money for a job in the Netherlands, for a contract, for a place in a queue or for paperwork that does not exist, walk away. Workuro is free for workers and always will be; an employer pays only if they want to open your contact details, and you can switch that off.
