What to do when you are coming to the Netherlands as a highly skilled migrant?

Dutch immigration policy allows companies to quickly and in a straightforward manner recruit people with special skills from outside the European Union. This can be your chance as a non-EU citizen to work and live in the Netherlands as what is referred to as a highly skilled migrant.

When you find a suitable job in the Netherlands, you and your future employer sign an employment contract. Congratulations! If they are a “recognised sponsor,” they file the application for a highly skilled migrant visa and a work permit for you. If everything is in order, you receive your paperwork and you can come to the Netherlands!

Looking for a new job in the Netherlands?

If, however, you are looking for a new job, Payingit International might be able to help; jobs open up in their network too. Or if the company you want to work for is not yet an entity or a sponsor in the Netherlands, they may have a solution. Does this apply to you? Please get in touch with Payingit International.

Health insurance is compulsory in the Netherlands.

You can get a discount when buying policies via selected Dutch insurance companies through Payingit International.

Expat tax services

When you move to the Netherlands, you might be confronted with extra costs, so-called extraterritorial costs. To offset those expenses, Payingit International can apply to the Dutch government for the 30% ruling for you.
