Netherlands Investment Immigration Programs Overview

The Netherlands, like many other European countries, grants a residency visa to foreign investors willing to spend at least 1.25 million euros in a Dutch company, invest in the economy, and create jobs. The permit is valid for a period of three years. The Netherlands, unlike other countries, uses a point-based method to determine the worth of an investment.

Citizenship By Investment

The Netherlands does not have a citizenship-by-investment programme, although applicants can apply for Dutch citizenship after five years of continuous permanent presence. Applicants must demonstrate social integration (for example, by speaking Dutch) and, in many situations, relinquish their original nationality.

How to Apply

Obtaining an MVV, or interim residency permit, is the first step in the process. Applicants from Western countries, such as the United States, and select Asian countries, such as Japan and South Korea, are not required to submit an MVV. At the same time, the investor residency permit and the MVV are sought for. A Dutch embassy receives the applications.

Within 90 days, decisions are made. The candidate then travels to the Netherlands if authorized. Once in the nation, you must have health insurance and take a tuberculosis test. The three-year residency permit is valid.

The application fee is approximately 2,100 euros. It must be written in one of the following languages: Dutch, English, French, or German.

Mobility:

A Dutch passport is one of the best in the world, allowing visa-free travel to 186 countries.

Country

With an overall pleasant business environment, an educated workforce, and competitive tax structures, the Netherlands is an outstanding destination to do business in Europe. Almost everyone speaks English, which is the common business language. In addition, the country has sophisticated infrastructure, good health care, and education, as well as low crime rates.
