Hello, I saw that you answered other people’s questions about the Netherlands in great detail. I also have a question about work visas and Dutch citizenship.

The regulations in the Netherlands are that you can get a permanent residence permit after paying taxes for 5 years. The so-called paying taxes is working. This is certain. If you want to become a Dutch citizen, you need to pass a Dutch language test.

In addition, the current wage situation in the Netherlands follows that of the European Union. The European Union has a set of laws to protect the labor force. In fact, it is also a restriction, that is, the minimum wage must be higher than 1,600 euros (it also seems to be 2,000 euros, specifically I don’t know exactly, but it must be higher than 1500). If the company you are applying for is willing to pay you this salary, then your visa will be fine.

How is your English? Generally speaking, international high-tech talents in the Netherlands need a certain level of English proficiency. If you have good English proficiency, have 7 years of work experience, and major in machinery, it will not be difficult to find a job. Even though the current economic situation in the Netherlands is not good, companies here still welcome high-tech talents.

Hope this helps.
