To ensure the permit process runs smoothly, Schiphol has developed a dedicated tool: the Integrated Permit Tool (Dutch name IVT). A questionnaire in the tool helps you to determine which permits are required for your project or activities. You can also request the permit. Assessors or permit coordinators assess your request and provide feedback.
To use the IVT, you need both an IVT account and a Schiphol account.
Please note: Main contractors and Schiphol employees have to request their Schiphol account through their own organisation.
After completing the questionnaire in the IVT, you will receive an overview of the required internal and external permits.
Internal permits are issued by Schiphol itself. Applications submitted to Schiphol are assessed by Schiphol assessors or permit coordinators. You will receive feedback on your application within the agreed timeframes.The permit will either be granted/rejected or you may need to provide additional information.
Most internal permits are applied for through the IVT. The IVT will indicate if a permit has to be requested through another system.
External permits are issued by the competent authority. The permit process for external permits depends on which party is commissioning the work in question.
If Schiphol is not the party who has commissioned the work , Schiphol has an advisory role with regard to external permits. The applicant is responsible for applying directly to the competent authority for the required external permits.
If Schiphol is the party who has commissioned the work, external permits are applied for with the competent authority by the permit coordinators of the HSE department.
When applying for an external permit, you must provide the required information and documentation to the relevant permit coordinator. The permit coordinator reviews the information and submits the application to the competent authority. They then assesses the application.
You will receive feedback on your application within the statutory timeframe.The permit will either be granted/rejected or you may need to provide additional information.
For complex projects, the Central Permit Coordination Desk (CMV) is involved automatically through the IVT. The CMV determines whether it is necessary for the project to be presented at a Permit Coordination Meeting (COV).
The CMV can provide advice regarding the overview of required permits and the permit application process. The CMV can be contacted by email at vergunningen@schiphol.nl.
You may only begin the project or activities once all required permits (both internal and external) have been granted.
During the execution of the project or activities, all agreements and/or conditions attached to the permits must be complied with. Schiphol monitors compliance with the conditions specified in internal permits, while the competent authority enforces the requirements and conditions associated with external permits.
