The Netherlands has a special knowledge migrant scheme. This scheme makes it easier and faster for companies to bring highly skilled knowledge workers to the Netherlands. Simply put, the knowledge migrant scheme relaxes the entry requirements for knowledge migrants. For example, employees outside the EU normally require a work permit to work in the Netherlands; knowledge migrants usually do not. Knowledge migrants can also benefit from a shortened admission procedure. However, there are various conditions for the employer and requirements for the highly skilled knowledge migrant.
