All About The 30% Ruling & Dutch Highly Skilled Migrant Visa
·OnlineOnlineThe Netherlands boasts one of the world’s most advanced, modern and diverse economies. Its GDP is nearing 1.2 trillion USD, with no end to the growth in sight. As a result, the Dutch constantly require skilled talent and are in competition with other countries looking to attract and retain talent. However, with only 18 million inhabitants, this tiny country needs help to support its growth. Hence the creation of the highly skilled migrant visa (HSM) and 30% ruling. These are designed to fast-track and entice immigration of well-paid and highly skilled talent (“Kennistalent”) from around the globe to support Dutch companies and the Dutch economy.
In this webinar, we delve into the world of the highly skilled migrant visa & 30% ruling and how you can use it to live in what we feel is one of the best countries on earth!
In this webinar, we’ll discuss the following:
- What the highly skilled migrant visa & 30% ruling are
- Conditions eligibility and requirements
- Application procedure
- Specific circumstances & late applications
- Accepting a job after completing your studies
- Dealing with a rejected 30% ruling application
- Practical examples
- Future outlook
- Tips & tricks you didn’t know about
- Q&A
The move to The Netherlands can be easy or one filled with hard job searches, terrible and disappointing visa applications, or it can be a painless fast track with the help of experts to get you sponsored and move there quickly. Join us to learn about this golden opportunity for your career and future! All aboard to The Netherlands!
