immigration - Can my company obtain Netherlands
work permits?
As the employer, you can obtain a Dutch work permit
for a non-EU national if:
EITHER
You are a Netherlands-based and registered company
OR
You are an EEA company that is providing services
to a Netherlands company. If you fall into this
category, you must outsource the administration
of the candidate's remuneration to a Netherlands
accountant. Unfortunately, you cannot normally
apply for a Netherlands work permit if you are
a Staff Agency / Recruitment company. You will
have to provide a copy of the contract to provide
services between the EEA company and the Dutch
client.
The candidate must be paid more than the agreed
minimum wage for the type of work being performed,
which is generally at least 3-4,000 EURO per month
in the case of IT professionals. Companies who
fail to comply with this legislation are unlikely
to be granted work permits for a further five
years.
