Ah, good one. I'll add it to a blog post; thanks for pointing it out. The conditions are here btw: ind.nl/en/required-amounts-income-requirements#reduced-salary-criterion
Can you tell more about the payrolling story? How did you discover this system? Was it something that you suggested to them? Do you have to register with the payrolling company yourself and can you be connected with Dutch companies through them?
It's pretty common, so most of the Dutch employees know about this. We didn't suggest it, they just googled the companies and found one. There are several of them here. Everything is done via your employer and by the payrolling company. Essentially, it's not a much different process from regular employment.
Hi Dmitrii! Thank you so much for this video? Could it be possible to cover in-depth the process of searching for a job in The Netherlands and about payroling itself? Much appreciated! =)
A small remark. You actually can apply for a 30% ruling after 4 months, In this case, it will only be applicable to income that was earned starting from the month of application. If you apply during the first 4 months, it'll be applied for all the months you've worked in the NL. So the previous months will be recalculated. What's my next video should be about?
How is the job market for Software Engineers? Is possible to make something close to 200k not being manager or architect? I've seen all the numbers from payscale/glasdoor but don't think they represent reality, at least here in the US.
Good idea! Definitely will make something about programming jobs in the Netherlands. I can reply to you right away that 200k is close to impossible salary in the Netherlands unless you're top executive. Not many people also wants this because after a certain point taxes are so high, nobody bothers. Also, you just don't need so much money here. There is very little "rich culture" here and 200k is being very rich in the NL.
Thank you for the very helpful video. I am busy with my application. I start working in the Netherlands as a professor at a University on 1 November. I will also ask my employer to apply for my wife and children. My son is 16 years old, and my daughter is 23 years old. I hope that both of them will be eligible for the Visa. Thank you for the information.
Hello, thank you for watching! Your kid that is younger than 18 y.o. will definitely be eligible. About daughter, I am not sure since she's already older than 18 y.o. so you need to research this separately. But I think she should certainly be eligible for family reunification.
One thing is missing. Find out if your spouse is allowed to work in The Netherlands. There's nothing worse than having a spouse having to sit home all day, with or without children.
Thanks for the video! Can you clarify what's the actual process with the payroll company? Do you have to find a fully remote job offer yourself and then arrange everything through a payroll company? Because when I google payroll companies they don't give you actual jobs, only offer their intermediary services. That makes it you have to find a job independently with a minimal salary for the visa + payroll company fees?
Payrolling company can be only hired by another business. They don't provide any jobs or don't work with people directly. So the company that want to hire you, should do all the process and contact them and purchase their services. It doesn't matter whether your job remote or not. You, personally, don't do anything with Payrolling company. You only have to find a job.
Thank you for your great video. Quick question, is the birth certificate a required document for the HSM application? As far as I know, you only need that for registration in the municipality of your city after entering the Netherlands, and that is only after your HSM application is already approved. Please correct me if I am wrong, but the birth certificate is not a required document for the HSM application.
That's correct. You don't need it for the visa or permit but you will need it to register in the municipality indeed. It's not urgent either, I think they give you around 6 month to bring it after the registration.
Привет! Спасибо большое за полезную инфу :) Хотел поправить один момент: на 30% рулинг можно податься после 4-х месяцев работы, просто эта налоговая скидка начнёт работать со следующего месяца после подтверждения рулинга. А если податься в первые 4 месяца работы, то тебе вернут "переплату налогов" за предыдущие месяцы. Можешь добавить эту инфу к своему закреплённому комменту :)
Да все верно! Спасибо. Оговорился на этом моменте. Но в любом случае хорошо это делать в первые 4 месяца, чтобы не потерять вычет за них. Добавил в закрепленное сообщение.
Hi, thanks for your great channel. Could you please say if you've seen a highly skilled immigrant get residency for his/her parents ? Thanks. Keep it up💯
Thank you! Unfortunately, moving your parents is really hard with highly skilled immigrant program and in general. The Netherlands is looking for people who will be working for the economy but moving parents means the country will not get that, but the other way around will be spending money. Maybe with the sufficient funds on your side meaning you can fully pay for their life here it's possible. I didn't do a really deep research, but I briefly checked and made a conclusion it's almost impossible in my case. It's easier to move parents in one of the countries that have a retirement programs like in Balkans or Eastern Europe or Asia.
Hey man, very thorough video. Good work. I am waiting for the IND's decision at this moment. It has been 4 weeks now, and really tired of waiting haha. But it is kinda comforting to know that it took 6 weeks for you. I guess I just need to be more patient. When did you apply for yours? Like what time of the year? it is the summer holiday season in Europe, wonder if that has something to do with the long waiting time
Thank you! Haha, the Dutch government never rushes 😂 Yeah, 6 weeks is pretty normal. I recommend just relax, they rarely decline if your papers are okay. Also, it's a good practice, many things in the Netherlands are kinda slow but after some time you start enjoying this pace 😂 I applied in summer of 2022 and moved in August. So same as you basically.
You just find a company that can sponsor your permit. They have to be recognised by IND to become a sponsor. You don't need to leave the country, you can even have breaks between employments, as long as they are no longer than 3 months.
Dmitrii, is there any requirement on regards the time you've been married whenever presenting the marriage certificate? for example you must have been married for a year with your wife so it is valid for the Kennismigrant process
I don't think so. Moreover, you don't even need to be married, you can be just partners, but in that case, they can ask for more proof. For marriage, we haven't been asked anything.
Thank you for the informative video.. I have question if I get advantage of the 30% ruling is it effecting my rights later to apply for the Dutch nationality?
Thank you for the brilliant submission. I want to ask in applying for the 30% ruling should my residence address on my employment contract be an address in the Netherlands or it should be my address from my home country ?
1. Is payrolling really legal ? 2. What is the cost of payrolling company which they charge from the employer? 3. Is there a possibility to get the visa if the applicant has no bachelor degree?
Thanks for the questions! 1. Yes, it's 100% legal and pretty common practice. 2. I think ours charge around €700 per month. Remote.com is very famous for example, and they charge €600 per months (remote.com/pricing). 3. There are no requirements for degrees for immigrants in the Netherlands. But I think you have to have a high school education.
Great video Thanks a lot for the information, it's very helpful. I have been working with a company from the Netherlands remotely for the past two years , The company is a small company , they have decided to move me in as a highly skilled migrant for 1 year . even though it would be costly for them, I live in Lebanon , we have a semi war situation going on, so if I may ask: 1- if my contract ended will my residence permit end with it or will I have time to find another job? 2-can I change my permit from a highly skilled migrant to a normal employee? Just in case my contract wasn't renewed There a risk if I want to return here My MVV have been issued and I am traveling next week.
Your case is very similar to ours: worked for a Dutch company for many years. It's a small company, the war started and the company moved us. 1. After your contract ends, you have 3 months or until the end of your permit (whichever comes first) to find a new job. If your contract and resident permit end on the same day (I don't recommend doing so), you need to start searching for a job before the contract ends. 2. As far as I know, no "normal employee" permits exist. There is a Highly skilled migrant" and a "European blue card" (which is rarely used in Holland). Your permit is not related to those programs. There are maybe a working visa but if you already will be a highly skilled worker, why would you want to change it? Your next company will just continue with "Highly-skilled worker". If you are such a good specialist that the company in the Netherlands decided to move you from another country, I think it means you'll easily find a job here later on. So I wouldn't worry too much, just be careful with the timings and ask in advance whether your company plans to extend the contract. Good luck with the move!
Great Video. I live and work in Germany with EU Blue card and now I am planning to move to the Netherlands. My questions are 1) I am holding EU Blue card now for 30 months will this period be counted in the Netherlands keeping align with the usual residence permit rule in Netherlands. Like first month in Netherlands would be counted as 31 months as I have read somewhere that I need to work atleast 24 months in home country from where EU Blue Card was issued. 2) Would I be able to get 100 percent finance through bank in Netherlands if I plan to buy a house.
Thanks! 1) Not sure if I fully understand the questions. Counted towards what exactly? Anyway, I don't know much about Blue cards because they are quite rare here in the Netherlands. 2) Yes, any resident of the Netherlands can get 100% finance as long as you're buying the home for residing in it (not investment)
@@dpashutskii I came to know that even with 100 percent finance to transfer the name and other formalities I need atleast 30,000 Euro. Is it true please guide me
@@24sweetguy Not sure what "transfer the name" means. There are many additional costs with purchasing a house of course like real estate agent or mortgage makler or different type of taxes. Depends on many factors it could indeed go up to €10-€12k. But it's unrelated to mortgage. But it's rarely 30k unless you're buying a house that costs several millions. I'll record a new video soon where I go through all the payments that associated with purchasing the house.
Thank you for the informative video! I have some questions: Is it easier to get hired on a search year visa (coming from outside of EU)? Is it difficult to find a job that sponsors HSM visa with say 2 YOE? From iamsterdam's 30 ruling page: > You must prove that you were residing outside the Netherlands before you began your present employment in the Netherlands. In addition, you must have lived a distance of more than 150 km from the Dutch border for more than 16 months out of the 24 months prior to your first working day in the Netherlands. Can I still be eligible for the 30% ruling if I find the job while on search year visa in the Netherlands within 8 months?
Thank you. 1. I don't know much about "Search year visa" but I can assume it has the same rights as any other programs so I'd say the chances are the same as with anybody on the permit. They will still need to sponsor you. 2. YOE = Years of experience? If yes, it depends on your field. In software engineering it's definitely possible since it's already around middle level. But it also depends on your skills A LOT. Experience doesn't mean much, skills are more important. 3. That's a really good question. I think you're following the rules here if you found a job within 8 month you have lived 16 of the last 24 months outside of the Netherlands. So yes, it should work. I'd ask Tax Office just in case, they often reply on Instagram fairly quickly instagram.com/belastingdienstnl/?hl=en.
@@dpashutskii thank you so much for the information! Search year visa allows you to work in any jobs during that year so that’s why I wonder if it makes any difference because I would be able to start working immediately and change to HSM later
Все верно. Но учтите что если вы проживайте в этой стране как турист, вам вклейку не поставят, не важно что скажет ваш работодатель. В Грузии это сработало, потому что мы показали разные документы, что мы там живем (например открытую компанию и договор аренды).
@@dpashutskiiможно поподробнее по поводу того, что вклейку не поставят? Живем в Грузии 3 месяца, дети ходят в сад, работаем удаленно. На записи в консульство ничего такого не говорили, что нужно что то предоставить о резиденстве грузии.
Hello Dmitrii, Very informative and really helpful. Would seek more inputs from your acumen. I have a company which is ready to file in my Highly Skilled Work Visa with an Amsterdam address to be included in resume. I am to start my job search with this resume. Hoping to get through the evaluation process. Pluses: - Good native English - verbal plus written - Strong technical profile at senior managerial level - Worked in European/US/South Africa / Held Danish Residential Work Permits Flips Or Queries - How do I convince the Amsterdam employer about the visa ? I do not have one, but if I get through the evaluation, the company is ready to file for a visa. Provided I enter into an agreement on contractual engagement with my Amsterdam employer - Am clueless about Dutch language. Will it be a deterrent ? - My current employer has 90 days of notice + 8 weeks of Visa processing times. How do I manage this wait time ? Any thoughts ? - Can I bring my dependent parents to Amsterdam with Highly Skilled Work Visa ?
Hello, To be completely honest, I don't think I fully understand the questions and your situation. What do you mean by "I have a company?" Is it your employer, or are you the owner of the company? I'm not sure I see the meaning of the questions in both cases. 1. If it's an employer, you don't need to do anything; they are the ones who apply for HSM. 2. If you're the owner, why would you consider HSM in the first place? Still, try to answer a few: - Knowing Dutch doesn't affect your visa at all. The only one who can ask for Dutch is your employer. - You need to discuss the timeline with the new and old employers. The Dutch government (IND) doesn't care about your timelines. - You cannot move your parents with a Highly Skilled visa unless you have some specific cases (ind.nl/en/forms/3085.pdf). It can be possible if you get Dutch citezenship.
@@dpashutskiitbh, I believe this change is the easiest to implement of all the point in the agreement. Last time (2016), they did not reach an agreement with coalition support. This time it's different.
Hi I got a job offer from Netherlands and currently I am residing in germany city which is 75 km from netherlands border , am I eligible for 30% ruling? could someone please explain?
Unfortunately no. Here is the quote from the requirements. You must have lived at a distance of more than 150 kilometres as the crow flies from the Dutch border for more than 16 months in the 24 months prior to your first working day in the Netherlands. You are not allowed to have lived in Belgium, Luxembourg and parts of Germany, France or the United Kingdom.

Hi Dmitrii! Your video is really helpful thank you for doing a good work. I have a question about income requirements. That income must meet or exceed the threshold. For people younger than 30 years old, it’s €3672/month. Does that mean i have to find a job that gives me salary >€3672/month ? Or can it be like gaining salary to that amount in a few years? Thanks a lot!
No, unfortunately, you have to find a job that meets salary criteria right away. So your first salary should be already €3672. That's before taxes though. It's a little above average by the country, but not much. I think in 2023 the average salary was around €3000.
Can i ask you one more question? Is it possible to work in the Netherlands with another program which is not highly skilled migrant program so I don’t have to meet salary criteria. For example, if I look for a job in linkedin and apply for it but the salary is lower than €3672. Thanks a lot
Of course, there are several programs to move and work here, highly-skilled worker is just the most common. There are some variants of working visas as well. I think you're overthinking it. You don't need to know anything about those programs. If you find an employer who wants to move you, they will figure out it themselves.
Hello! I found this information very useful! I still have a question tho, regarding the salaries of high skilled migrants. Like you mentioned, under 30 yo, they are paid 3900 but that would be a junior engineer for example, right? I mean, if I have 7 years of experience I should be offered more than the minimum. Can you confirm please if my logic is okay? I kinda belive that they are offering me a low salary according to my experience 😢
€3900 is a minimum amount. You can have any salary that's above this number. Regarding the number, is it software engineering? If so, yes it's a very low salary for a programmer with 7 years of experience. I'd say it should be €5k minimum.
@@dpashutskii Thanks for the reply! Actually, the role is for an Industrialization Engineer position, the degree is mechatronics engineer. Curious about your thoughts
Hii, thanks for the great video, it is awesome. I have a question. 1- what is the benefits for that payroll companies to sponsor me and can I contact them to find a company that willing to hire me. 2- is the salary over 30 years which is 5000+ is hard to find a company to hire me. I think it is too high. Thanks
1. They have permits to hire foreigners. Not all companies have them. No, they don't help to find a job. That's recruiting agencies, different types of companies. 2. Depends on your specialisation. In some professions, €5000 is not a very high salary.
Hello sir, I'm planning to move and work in Netherlands, do you mind if there any employer you know to recommend me. I'm here in Hungary working here as Machine Operator. I'm asking if, do you have any recommend agency there?.thank you in advance.
Hi, I think Scandinavian countries should be fine. Here is a quote from the government website: *No 30% facility if you live in the border region* You must have lived at a distance of more than 150 kilometers as the crow flies from the Dutch border for more than 16 months in the 24 months prior to your first working day in the Netherlands. You are not allowed to have lived in Belgium, Luxembourg and parts of Germany, France or the United Kingdom.

@@dpashutskii Yeah that's also what I saw thanks for the information! My only concern is the "invitation"/ "recruitment" part. I have been applying to jobs myself in the Netherlands.
@@-es2bf If you're already in the Netherlands it could be an issue because of the requirement is being hired from abroad. But maybe it's not related if you're here as a tourist. Because before switching to residence permit, you might need to go back to your country anyway. Better to double check with tax authorities, you can always call them or write email.
Hello. I get 3700 gross salary. However, I am paid a net salary of 2706 Euros every month. The company applied for a 30% tax deduction. It applied 1 month ago, but I don't know where I can track it. I come from Turkey and can you give me information on how I can change my driver's license after this approval? I applied for a tax deduction in the Netherlands in the third month. I have not received any response yet. If my Turkish driver's license expires, can we still change it directly here?
You can ask your company about the status of your 30% ruling application. If you're getting paid €2706, it means the ruling hasn't been applied yet. When it'll be approved during the first 4 months of your arrival, you'll get all taxes overpaid back with the next salary. With 30% ruling, you can exchange your driving license here (doesn't matter where it was issued). More info: www.rdw.nl/en/driving-licence/foreign-driving-license/exchanging-a-foreign-driving-licence.
Hi, actually I am from Azerbaijan and I am going to study in Lithuania. Can I apply for a temporary residence permit (work) from the Lithuania ( I have also Residence Permit in Lithuania but my nationality is azerbaijani) Because I do not want to get Visa. When I have a residence permit in Lithuania I can easily travel to the Netherlands.
Let's hope the new dutch government will abolish the discriminating 30% tax reduction and stop handing out drivers licenses to "expats" who didn't have a drivers license in their home country.
Driving license exchanges are a bit weird, I agree. But they only exchange existing driving licenses; it's not for people who don't have a license in their country. It's the opposite. But even if it's abolished, I think 80% of "free driving license exchanges" are from EU citizens, and I doubt this will change. A 30% ruling might be too high, but some kind of tax incentive will remain, I am sure. The Netherlands is a very tech and innovative country, and there are not enough Dutch citizens to fill the jobs. If the foreign workforce stops, the country's economy will struggle much more than the 30% ruling costs.
Hi, unfortunately I am not informed well enough on this topic to give any advice. So I would recommend checking official recourses (e.g. www.government.nl/topics/asylum-policy/asylum-procedure).

Your case is very similar to ours: worked for a Dutch company for many years. It's a small company, the war started and the company moved us.
1. After your contract ends, you have 3 months or until the end of your permit (whichever comes first) to find a new job. If your contract and resident permit end on the same day (I don't recommend doing so), you need to start searching for a job before the contract ends.
2. As far as I know, no "normal employee" permits exist. There is a Highly skilled migrant" and a "European blue card" (which is rarely used in Holland). Your permit is not related to those programs. There are maybe a working visa but if you already will be a highly skilled worker, why would you want to change it? Your next company will just continue with "Highly-skilled worker".
If you are such a good specialist that the company in the Netherlands decided to move you from another country, I think it means you'll easily find a job here later on. So I wouldn't worry too much, just be careful with the timings and ask in advance whether your company plans to extend the contract.
Good luck with the move!
@@dpashutskii thanks a lot your words have been very helpful
Great Video. I live and work in Germany with EU Blue card and now I am planning to move to the Netherlands. My questions are
1) I am holding EU Blue card now for 30 months will this period be counted in the Netherlands keeping align with the usual residence permit rule in Netherlands. Like first month in Netherlands would be counted as 31 months as I have read somewhere that I need to work atleast 24 months in home country from where EU Blue Card was issued.
2) Would I be able to get 100 percent finance through bank in Netherlands if I plan to buy a house.
Thanks!
1) Not sure if I fully understand the questions. Counted towards what exactly? Anyway, I don't know much about Blue cards because they are quite rare here in the Netherlands.
2) Yes, any resident of the Netherlands can get 100% finance as long as you're buying the home for residing in it (not investment)
@@dpashutskii I came to know that even with 100 percent finance to transfer the name and other formalities I need atleast 30,000 Euro. Is it true please guide me
@@24sweetguy Not sure what "transfer the name" means.
There are many additional costs with purchasing a house of course like real estate agent or mortgage makler or different type of taxes. Depends on many factors it could indeed go up to €10-€12k. But it's unrelated to mortgage. But it's rarely 30k unless you're buying a house that costs several millions.
I'll record a new video soon where I go through all the payments that associated with purchasing the house.
@@dpashutskii Thank you for the kind response. Much appreciated!
Thank you for the informative video! I have some questions: Is it easier to get hired on a search year visa (coming from outside of EU)? Is it difficult to find a job that sponsors HSM visa with say 2 YOE?
From iamsterdam's 30 ruling page:
> You must prove that you were residing outside the Netherlands before you began your present employment in the Netherlands. In addition, you must have lived a distance of more than 150 km from the Dutch border for more than 16 months out of the 24 months prior to your first working day in the Netherlands.
Can I still be eligible for the 30% ruling if I find the job while on search year visa in the Netherlands within 8 months?
Thank you.
1. I don't know much about "Search year visa" but I can assume it has the same rights as any other programs so I'd say the chances are the same as with anybody on the permit. They will still need to sponsor you.
2. YOE = Years of experience? If yes, it depends on your field. In software engineering it's definitely possible since it's already around middle level. But it also depends on your skills A LOT. Experience doesn't mean much, skills are more important.
3. That's a really good question. I think you're following the rules here if you found a job within 8 month you have lived 16 of the last 24 months outside of the Netherlands. So yes, it should work.
I'd ask Tax Office just in case, they often reply on Instagram fairly quickly instagram.com/belastingdienstnl/?hl=en.
@@dpashutskii thank you so much for the information! Search year visa allows you to work in any jobs during that year so that’s why I wonder if it makes any difference because I would be able to start working immediately and change to HSM later
Чтобы получить вклеку в паспорт для вьезда, нужно, чтобы твой работодатель указал в какой стране ты придешь в Нидерландское консульство.
Все верно. Но учтите что если вы проживайте в этой стране как турист, вам вклейку не поставят, не важно что скажет ваш работодатель. В Грузии это сработало, потому что мы показали разные документы, что мы там живем (например открытую компанию и договор аренды).
@@dpashutskii я статистику смотрел по странам именно для данной ситуации. Россиянам делают исключение и вклеиваю MVV без ВНЖ.
@@dpashutskiiможно поподробнее по поводу того, что вклейку не поставят? Живем в Грузии 3 месяца, дети ходят в сад, работаем удаленно. На записи в консульство ничего такого не говорили, что нужно что то предоставить о резиденстве грузии.
Hello Dmitrii,
Very informative and really helpful. Would seek more inputs from your acumen.
I have a company which is ready to file in my Highly Skilled Work Visa with an Amsterdam address to be included in resume. I am to start my job search with this resume. Hoping to get through the evaluation process.
Pluses:
- Good native English - verbal plus written
- Strong technical profile at senior managerial level
- Worked in European/US/South Africa / Held Danish Residential Work Permits
Flips Or Queries
- How do I convince the Amsterdam employer about the visa ? I do not have one, but if I get through the evaluation, the company is ready to file for a visa. Provided I enter into an agreement on contractual engagement with my Amsterdam employer
- Am clueless about Dutch language. Will it be a deterrent ?
- My current employer has 90 days of notice + 8 weeks of Visa processing times. How do I manage this wait time ? Any thoughts ?
- Can I bring my dependent parents to Amsterdam with Highly Skilled Work Visa ?
Hello,
To be completely honest, I don't think I fully understand the questions and your situation.
What do you mean by "I have a company?" Is it your employer, or are you the owner of the company? I'm not sure I see the meaning of the questions in both cases.
1. If it's an employer, you don't need to do anything; they are the ones who apply for HSM.
2. If you're the owner, why would you consider HSM in the first place?
Still, try to answer a few:
- Knowing Dutch doesn't affect your visa at all. The only one who can ask for Dutch is your employer.
- You need to discuss the timeline with the new and old employers. The Dutch government (IND) doesn't care about your timelines.
- You cannot move your parents with a Highly Skilled visa unless you have some specific cases (ind.nl/en/forms/3085.pdf). It can be possible if you get Dutch citezenship.
Having new draft of coalition agreement it appears that you will only get your citizenship in 10yrs, not 5.
Doesn't make sense to think about it until it applied and approved by the senate. There is a pretty big chance it'll never happen.
@@dpashutskiitbh, I believe this change is the easiest to implement of all the point in the agreement. Last time (2016), they did not reach an agreement with coalition support. This time it's different.
Now, its about finding an employer... Is it difficult to find one?
Well, it's a question you have to ask yourself. Is it to find a job in your field?
Hi I got a job offer from Netherlands and currently I am residing in germany city which is 75 km from netherlands border , am I eligible for 30% ruling? could someone please explain?
Unfortunately no. Here is the quote from the requirements.
You must have lived at a distance of more than 150 kilometres as the crow flies from the Dutch border for more than 16 months in the 24 months prior to your first working day in the Netherlands. You are not allowed to have lived in Belgium, Luxembourg and parts of Germany, France or the United Kingdom.

How to appky Sir in Netherlands , im here in Israel currently work here as a caregiver
Not sure I understand the question.
Hi Dmitrii! Your video is really helpful thank you for doing a good work. I have a question about income requirements. That income must meet or exceed the threshold. For people younger than 30 years old, it’s €3672/month.
Does that mean i have to find a job that gives me salary >€3672/month ? Or can it be like gaining salary to that amount in a few years?
Thanks a lot!
No, unfortunately, you have to find a job that meets salary criteria right away. So your first salary should be already €3672. That's before taxes though. It's a little above average by the country, but not much.
I think in 2023 the average salary was around €3000.
@@dpashutskii thanks for your answer. That’s very clear😄
Can i ask you one more question? Is it possible to work in the Netherlands with another program which is not highly skilled migrant program so I don’t have to meet salary criteria. For example, if I look for a job in linkedin and apply for it but the salary is lower than €3672.
Thanks a lot
Of course, there are several programs to move and work here, highly-skilled worker is just the most common. There are some variants of working visas as well.
I think you're overthinking it. You don't need to know anything about those programs. If you find an employer who wants to move you, they will figure out it themselves.
@@dpashutskii Thanks for your help💪🏼
Hello! I found this information very useful! I still have a question tho, regarding the salaries of high skilled migrants. Like you mentioned, under 30 yo, they are paid 3900 but that would be a junior engineer for example, right? I mean, if I have 7 years of experience I should be offered more than the minimum.
Can you confirm please if my logic is okay? I kinda belive that they are offering me a low salary according to my experience 😢
€3900 is a minimum amount. You can have any salary that's above this number.
Regarding the number, is it software engineering? If so, yes it's a very low salary for a programmer with 7 years of experience. I'd say it should be €5k minimum.
@@dpashutskii Thanks for the reply!
Actually, the role is for an Industrialization Engineer position, the degree is mechatronics engineer. Curious about your thoughts
Hi sir, I done MS biotechnology and I wanna to come Netherlands as immegrant.
Is there any project /job for Biotechnologist please
I don't know anything about this field, to be honest. It's better to research online.
Hii, thanks for the great video, it is awesome. I have a question.
1- what is the benefits for that payroll companies to sponsor me and can I contact them to find a company that willing to hire me.
2- is the salary over 30 years which is 5000+ is hard to find a company to hire me. I think it is too high.
Thanks
1. They have permits to hire foreigners. Not all companies have them. No, they don't help to find a job. That's recruiting agencies, different types of companies.
2. Depends on your specialisation. In some professions, €5000 is not a very high salary.
@@dpashutskii Thanks a lot. Do you have any information about if Data Analyst is in demand in the Netherlands? Thanks
No idea to be honest.
@@dpashutskii thanks 😊
Hello sir, I'm planning to move and work in Netherlands, do you mind if there any employer you know to recommend me. I'm here in Hungary working here as Machine Operator. I'm asking if, do you have any recommend agency there?.thank you in advance.
I don't know any employer or agency.
I am going to move from Scandinavia to Netherlands. I have a Msc. and looking for jobs in the Netherlands. Will I be able to apply for 30% rule?
Hi, I think Scandinavian countries should be fine.
Here is a quote from the government website:
*No 30% facility if you live in the border region*
You must have lived at a distance of more than 150 kilometers as the crow flies from the Dutch border for more than 16 months in the 24 months prior to your first working day in the Netherlands. You are not allowed to have lived in Belgium, Luxembourg and parts of Germany, France or the United Kingdom.

@@dpashutskii Yeah that's also what I saw thanks for the information! My only concern is the "invitation"/ "recruitment" part. I have been applying to jobs myself in the Netherlands.
@@-es2bf If you're already in the Netherlands it could be an issue because of the requirement is being hired from abroad.
But maybe it's not related if you're here as a tourist. Because before switching to residence permit, you might need to go back to your country anyway. Better to double check with tax authorities, you can always call them or write email.
Hello. I get 3700 gross salary. However, I am paid a net salary of 2706 Euros every month. The company applied for a 30% tax deduction. It applied 1 month ago, but I don't know where I can track it. I come from Turkey and can you give me information on how I can change my driver's license after this approval?
I applied for a tax deduction in the Netherlands in the third month. I have not received any response yet. If my Turkish driver's license expires, can we still change it directly here?
You can ask your company about the status of your 30% ruling application. If you're getting paid €2706, it means the ruling hasn't been applied yet. When it'll be approved during the first 4 months of your arrival, you'll get all taxes overpaid back with the next salary.
With 30% ruling, you can exchange your driving license here (doesn't matter where it was issued). More info: www.rdw.nl/en/driving-licence/foreign-driving-license/exchanging-a-foreign-driving-licence.
Kann ich meinen Führerschein trotzdem ändern, wenn sich die Genehmigungsfrist verzögert und mein türkischer Führerschein abläuft?
Why would you think I speak German? 😅
This is a habit :) Thank you for your understanding 😊
Hi, actually I am from Azerbaijan and I am going to study in Lithuania. Can I apply for a temporary residence permit (work) from the Lithuania ( I have also Residence Permit in Lithuania but my nationality is azerbaijani)
Because I do not want to get Visa. When I have a residence permit in Lithuania I can easily travel to the Netherlands.
Hi, as long as you live in Lithuania legally (have residency), you can apply for anything right from there via the Dutch embassy in Vilnius.
Let's hope the new dutch government will abolish the discriminating 30% tax reduction and stop handing out drivers licenses to "expats" who didn't have a drivers license in their home country.
Driving license exchanges are a bit weird, I agree. But they only exchange existing driving licenses; it's not for people who don't have a license in their country. It's the opposite. But even if it's abolished, I think 80% of "free driving license exchanges" are from EU citizens, and I doubt this will change.
A 30% ruling might be too high, but some kind of tax incentive will remain, I am sure. The Netherlands is a very tech and innovative country, and there are not enough Dutch citizens to fill the jobs. If the foreign workforce stops, the country's economy will struggle much more than the 30% ruling costs.
Like for mechanical keyboard
It's awesome! 👍
By the way, do a video about the housing man. Finding a nice place in Amsterdam is a pain in my arse :)

That's the correct answer.
