How to immigrate to Holland?

1. Main immigration channels: According to the Dutch immigration policy, there are three main ways to apply for permanent residence in the Netherlands: a. Settle in the Netherlands on the grounds of marriage or cohabitation, including family reunion; B. settle in the Netherlands on the grounds of work; C. Settle in the Netherlands on the grounds of applying for political asylum. 2. Actively promote the integration of immigrants into society: The Dutch government believes that the current situation is far from optimistic. In March 2004, the Cabinet adopted a new plan, the core of which is to take further measures to crack down on illegal immigrants, and at the same time, to take integration as the obligation of immigrants and abolish the past voluntary principle. According to the new regulations, not only foreign immigrants who come to the Netherlands after 1998 need to attend the integration course and pass the exam, but immigrants aged 16 need to pass the Dutch proficiency test no matter how long they arrive in the Netherlands. In addition, for new immigrants who come to the Netherlands for reasons such as marriage or family reunion, since June 2005, they must first attend basic integration courses in their original country of residence, master basic Dutch vocabulary, and continue to attend deeper integration courses after coming to the Netherlands. It is worth mentioning that the Netherlands is the first country in the world to require new immigrants to receive social integration training before moving. In addition to attending social integration courses and assessment as required, new immigrants also need to sign a written agreement and accept regular inspections by the municipal government. Those who fail to attend the course according to the agreement will be punished. The age limit for applying for a spouse to come to the Netherlands for reasons such as marriage or family reunion is raised from 18 to 2 1, and the applicant's monthly net income in the Netherlands must be above 120% of the minimum wage. 3. Encourage and attract skilled immigrants: In September 2004, the Dutch cabinet passed a proposal and decided to move to the Netherlands on the grounds of work from June 10. Foreigners with an annual net income of 45,000 euros or more are qualified skilled immigrants and do not need a work permit to work in the Netherlands. If the skilled immigrant has signed an indefinite work contract with his employer, the Immigration Bureau will issue him a valid residence for five years; If you only sign a work contract with a limited term, you will get a residence with the same term as the work contract but no more than 5 years. In addition, the approval procedures for short-term residence visas (MVV) for skilled immigrants to the Netherlands will be shortened. However, the standard of skilled migration does not apply to all foreign students, including graduate students, foreign doctoral students working in Dutch educational institutions or research institutions and university teachers under the age of 30. 4. Strengthen the crackdown on illegal immigrants: According to the cabinet plan, the central government will not only increase the number of law enforcement officers who check illegal immigrants, strengthen the monitoring of foreigners in China, and expand the capacity of illegal immigrant shelters and repatriation centers, but also increase the punishment for renting houses to illegal immigrant owners and hiring illegal workers. For example, the fine for employing illegal workers was raised from 980 euros to 8,000 euros. If the hired black workers work for more than six months, the employer may also face social insurance and tax fines as high as 6,000 euros. If illegal immigrants pose a threat to public safety or even national security, they may be declared as unwelcome foreigners. In order to effectively curb the influx of illegal immigrants, the Dutch government has vigorously cracked down on human trafficking and smuggling activities, and adopted a series of measures to strengthen border control, such as increasing penalties for flights that bring in illegal immigrants, enhancing the ability to cope with the influx of undocumented illegal immigrants by requiring airlines to copy passports and using biometric technology, and preventing repatriated illegal immigrants from re-entering. In addition, the Dutch government has stepped up efforts to repatriate illegal immigrants. According to the new repatriation bill passed in February 2004, 26,000 asylum seekers who were refused refugee status but stayed in the Netherlands will be repatriated in stages within three years.
