Bajapa was set up by Erik Terpelle to advise and assist companies and private people with their work and residence permits in The Netherlands. Erik gained many years of expertise in this area when operating an accountancy company for foreign companies in The Netherlands from 1996 to 2011 under the name Accinterra. Most of the clients of Accinterra had foreign managers and professionals who needed a work permit, and regularly also permits for their family members. Since 2011 Erik has moved his attention solely to providing services in this field. This includes advice and applying permits at the Immigration Service (IND), and other relating services to assist expats and their family members in The Netherlands.
