Dutch immigration regulations

The Dutch rule is that you can get a permanent residence certificate after paying taxes for five years. Paying taxes is work. That's for sure. If you want to become a Dutch citizen, you need to pass the Dutch exam.

In addition, the current wage situation in the Netherlands follows the European Union, which has a set of laws to protect the labor force, which is actually a restriction, that is, the minimum wage must be higher than 1 1,600 euros (it seems to be 2,000 euros, I am not sure about the details, but it is definitely higher than 1 1,500 euros). 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 need a certain English ability in the Netherlands. If you have good English ability, 7 years working experience and major in mechanical engineering, it is not difficult to find a job. Even though the Dutch economic situation is not good now, companies here still welcome high-tech talents.

I hope I can help you.
