You can come as a highly skilled migrant, or you can apply for an orientation year for highly educated people if you have an EU Blue Card.
There are some rules that everyone must follow. You and your company must also meet the following requirements:
- You have a job contract with a company or a research institute in the Netherlands. This employer is a recognized sponsor by the IND. Recognized employers are listed in the Public Register of Recognized Sponsors
- You will be able to support yourself
- The agreed-upon wage is in line with current market conditions.
You’ll need a provisional residence permit (MVV) or a residence permit if you want to stay in the Netherlands as a highly skilled migrant.
Guest lecturers, scientific researchers, and medical trainee specialists are considered as highly skilled migrants.
