Five subsidies for Dutch immigrants

In order to protect the lives of Dutch people and immigrants, the Dutch government has promulgated an unprecedented economic assistance plan to help people in various industries deeply affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. The following are the types of Dutch immigration subsidies compiled by KaoNet. Welcome to read!

Article 1 Types of subsidies for Dutch immigrants

According to the Minister of Finance, it is estimated that the government will invest10-20 billion euros in crisis economic assistance, which is only a quarterly amount of assistance. The validity period of the plan is tentatively set as a three-month transition period. If necessary, the content of the economic assistance plan will be further expanded later. The specific points of assistance are summarized as follows: 1. Suspend tax payment for three months.

Business owners affected by the epidemic can apply to suspend tax payment for the next three months, and tax collection will stop immediately without providing any proof. These taxes include: income tax, corporate tax, business tax and payroll tax, and may also apply to value-added tax and payroll tax paid to the state treasury.

Second, self-employed and freelancers.

Millions of self-employed and freelancers hit hard by the epidemic will also receive government assistance. They can get a living allowance in the first three months to make up their monthly income to the minimum wage, and the money does not need to be returned in the future. Regardless of whether there is savings or not, the spouse's income is high or low, and they are eligible to apply.

Third, employee wage subsidies.

Shortly after the spread of COVID-19 in Europe, the Dutch government announced that the government would pay 75% of the wages of employees whose income decreased by 20%. This means that employers only need to make up a small amount of money to keep their employees' jobs and income during the crisis, and at the same time greatly reduce the burden on employers.

The new rescue plan has increased assistance to this measure. The government has increased the proportion of wages that it was previously responsible for paying from 75% to 90%. This measure also applies to employees and temporary workers who sign odd-job contracts.

Emergency subsidy of 4.4,000 euros

Enterprises severely hit by the COVID-19 epidemic can go to the emergency rescue counter set up by the government and get a one-time emergency subsidy of 4,000 euros from the government to solve their urgent needs.

Five, the government guarantees enterprise loans

Small and medium-sized enterprises will also be easier to borrow from banks. The total bank loans used by the government to guarantee enterprises will increase from 400 million euros to 654.38+0.5 billion euros. The loan amount of each company temporarily increased to 65.438+0.5 billion euros. The government will guarantee 90% of this amount. The cabinet has decided to spend 300 million euros to support this measure.

Article 2 Work visas for Dutch immigrants

Dutch immigration policy is relatively conservative. Compared with other big immigrant countries, there are not so many immigration projects to choose from, and the threshold is very high. Then, if you can't come up with 6.5438+0.25 million euros at once, what can you do to immigrate to the Netherlands? Of course, by applying for a work visa, I will go to the Netherlands first, and then get a chance to apply for a permanent green card.

There are two kinds of work visas you can apply for in the Netherlands, one is self-employment and the other is dispatch (ICT).

Self-employment: domestic companies or individuals have patents/inventions, or the entrepreneurial direction is relatively innovative. If they want to start a business at a low cost and gain identity, they can apply for starting their own business.

Application conditions for self-operated projects:

1. Five years or above shareholder experience is preferred;

2. It is recommended that you have a bachelor degree or above.

3. Score more than 90 points.

Dispatching category: Applicants need to have a parent company in China and then set up a branch or branch in the Netherlands before they can apply.

Application conditions for dispatch (ICT) projects:

Personal requirements:

1. Working as a senior manager in the parent company for at least three months;

2. Have corresponding management approval authority for the company's financial and other related work.

Company requirements:

1. It is suggested that the company's annual turnover is about 5 million RMB;

2. The number of employees in the company is suggested to be more than 10.

If you apply for a work visa in the Netherlands through the above methods and want to obtain a permanent green card in the Netherlands, you need to meet the following conditions:

1) does not pose a threat to public order.

2) Have enough income.

3) Must have an uninterrupted valid residence permit for 5 years or more.

4) Has passed the integration test. This means that you can write, speak, read and understand Dutch fluently.

In fact, no matter which way you use, the key to getting a Dutch green card is that you can have a legal job in the Netherlands and stay for more than 5 years. So even if you find a job in the Netherlands and have a long-term labor contract instead of the above two methods, you can still immigrate to the Netherlands.

Such as skilled immigrants from the Netherlands. The Netherlands also wants to introduce foreign workers, but the conditions are stricter. If you want to immigrate to the Netherlands by looking for a job, you must first go through the following customs:

1. Employers must hire employees with special skills, and employers have tried their best to recruit in the Netherlands, for example, through advertising, but without results;

2. The employer must report the vacancy to the Ministry of Labor for more than five weeks;

3. The employer is prepared to pay the foreign employees a salary higher than the new minimum wage for full-time work every month;

4. The employer shall arrange accommodation for foreign employees in the Netherlands, and the working environment and living environment provided by the employer must be acceptable to foreign employees;

5. Foreign employees must meet the job requirements required by the employer and have the qualifications and skills to engage in the vacant positions;

6. Foreign employees must have applied for or intend to apply for residence in the Netherlands.

Article 3 Frequently Asked Questions of Dutch Immigrants

1. Can I still apply for a short-term Schengen visa to come to the Netherlands?

A: Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the Dutch Embassy only accepts short-term Schengen visa applications from EU citizens' families, staff of international organizations and those who have to come to the Netherlands due to emergencies. All other non-essential applications (such as visiting relatives) have been suspended.

2. Will the Dutch Embassy reject short-term Schengen visa applications on the grounds of COVID-19 in the future?

A: According to the Schengen border agreement and Schengen visa, any potential infectious diseases and their harm to public health centers can be used as reasons for refusing visas.
