Question regarding UWV (Employee Insurance Agency)

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

This is all about risk and the potential for you becoming a burdon on the State should things not work out for you; UWV are part of the process, it's them who would become financially responsible for you.  If the employer takes on the commitment to provide you with housing for the duration of the time you are with them, then their is no risk to the Dutch taxpayer, all your accommodation costs (risk) would fall on them.

IMO, if UWV do not support your proposal/application, you have little to no chance of IND going ahead with your GVVA.

I hope this helps.

@Cynic Thank you for your response! Just to clarify, this self-arrangement is staying at my friend's family's place, which is also indicated in my application. Do you think the same rules you stated would apply to this context?

You're dealing with the Government.  If one of their requirements (rules) is that in the event you lose your accommodation, then for whatever reason, somebody can be held responsible to accomodate you, without recourse to the State, then it is a rule and in the tick-box world we live in, if there is not a tick in that box, then your application goes no further until the box is ticked.  Perhaps look at this from the viewpoint of they are also protecting you?
