Skilled Migrant Visa
The Highly Skilled Migrant Program allows Dutch companies to employ a highly educated foreign national through a fast and relatively simple application procedure. The employer must be approved by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) as a recognized sponsor and a specific income requirement must be met.
An advantage of the skilled migrant program is that the employer does not need to apply for a separate work permit (TWV).
