Definition

The Highly Skilled Migrant route is one of the Netherlands' main employment permits for non-EU workers. It relies on a recognised sponsor and a salary threshold, and it is designed to move faster and more predictably than many ordinary labour-market-based work routes. The permit is tied to the sponsoring employer at first, but it can lead into longer-term residence if the worker continues to meet the national conditions.
