Netherlands
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.
