Article 2 Benefits that Dutch immigrants can enjoy

In Holland, tourists will be attracted by the beautiful sea of flowers. In this windmill country, there are a group of enthusiastic and open people who are free and carefree. They are filled with happy smiles, as if happiness has always been around them. The survey shows that most people in the Netherlands feel that positive things happen far more often than negative things, and they don't even know how much welfare and happiness they have in the Netherlands.

After arriving in the Netherlands, every immigrant will get an identity card. In the first five years, you can enjoy the benefits enjoyed by local citizens except unemployment subsidies, relief funds and government low-rent housing subsidies. After five years, if he is granted permanent residency or naturalization, he can enjoy all the benefits. So what benefits can you enjoy living in the Netherlands?

1. The Netherlands is very famous for its high investment in education, so it attaches great importance to children's education and gives many subsidies, including cash and transportation subsidies. Children in primary schools can enjoy free education, and after entering middle schools, they will receive tuition subsidies from the government every year. The monthly cash subsidy is 50- 120 euros, while the tuition fee for students is only 20 euros. In fact, the extra money is used for extracurricular study. The same is true for immigrant children.

2. The Netherlands has gained an economic advantage, enjoyed a negative reputation in Europe and the lowest unemployment rate, all because of the government's high welfare policy. Immigrants, whether the main applicants or their families, can enjoy government subsidies, and the annual national medical insurance and unemployment benefits are as high as more than 30,000 euros.

3. Dutch immigrants can also enjoy the most unique tax refund benefit in the Netherlands, which is the benefit given by the Queen to the nationals. All people who work or have income in the Netherlands can enjoy the right of tax refund as long as they pay taxes according to law, and it is all-round, including buying real estate, renting a house, high tax refund when their spouses are unemployed, and every purchase between companies.

4.30% tax reduction is a kind of welfare that only Dutch high-tech immigrants can enjoy, but Dutch local citizens can't enjoy it. As long as you receive 30% tax reduction benefits for your monthly salary, you can be exempted from 30%, and the corresponding other benefits and tax refund benefits will not be affected.

You can get a replacement Dutch driver's license without trying, which saves some China people who have poor English and Dutch two or three thousand euros in driving test fees.

6. After retirement, you can guarantee an annual pension of 6.5438+0 million euros, so that the lives of the old people are guaranteed.

7. After becoming a permanent resident or naturalized, you can enjoy unemployment benefits ranging from 90% to 60% of your original salary. A few years later, it was changed to relief, with a maximum of 8,000 euros per year.
