An introduction to the highly skilled migrant (Kennismigranten) scheme and expat centres in the Netherlands.This scheme is initiated by an employer authorised to admit highly skilled migrant applicants-there's a complete list on the IND site-and it applies to jobs with agross salary of over EUR 51,239 or EUR 37,575 for under 30s. These salary bands don't apply to teaching and academic positions which are also covered by the scheme. Footballers are explicitly excluded. A highly skilled migrant needs to get an MVV while staying abroad before applying for a residence permit in the Netherlands. With an MVV under this scheme, it is possible to start work straight away, while waiting for the residence permit to come through. (Some applicants, who don't specifically need an MVV, also get an MVV for this reason.) The sponsoring employer deals with the residence and MVV application.
Since December 2007, foreign students who have completed an HBO/WO (higher education) course can file an application with the IND to remain in the Netherlands for a year to look for a job. This is known as a zoekjaar and during this period they are not eligible for social benefits and must support themselves financially. During this year they do not need a separate work permit in order to work. If they find an appropriate job (minimum salary EUR 26.931 for new graduates) they can apply for residence under the highly skilled migrant scheme.
