Highly skilled migrants come to the Netherlands to make a contribution to the knowledge economy. If they hold the nationality of a country outside the EU (other than Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland or Switzerland), they need a recognised sponsor.

Recognised sponsors are listed in a public register and can submit permit applications for highly skilled migrants. Highly skilled migrants must be paid an income which is above a set threshold. For more information, see the IND website.

The national laws and regulations of the Netherlands are detailed in English at the government.nl website. Do you have questions about this? You can call or email Informatie Rijksoverheid, the Netherlands’ Public Information Service. You can also send a message via X, Facebook or WhatsApp.
