Guide

How to get a job in the Netherlands from India

  1. 01Find a recognised sponsorOnly an employer recognised by the IND can apply for your highly skilled migrant permit. Every employer on this page is on the IND public register of recognised sponsors.
  2. 02Check the salary criterionFor 2026 the gross monthly salary, excluding holiday allowance, must be at least €5,942 if you're 30 or older, or €4,357 if you're under 30. A lower criterion of €3,122 applies to some recent graduates. The amounts change every 1 January.
  3. 03Your employer appliesThe employer applies for the provisional residence permit (MVV) and the residence permit at the same time. India isn't on the IND's list of nationalities exempt from the MVV, so as an Indian citizen you'll normally need one.
  4. 04Dutch is rarely requiredNone of the 70 AI postings here require Dutch (read from each posting by AI).
  5. 05Ask earlyBeing a recognised sponsor means an employer can apply for your permit, not that it will for every role. Ask the recruiter before you spend time on interviews.

Rules checked 18 Oct 2026 on the IND website: IND: highly skilled migrant · IND: required amounts · IND: MVV exemptions. Immigration rules change, so check there before you apply.
