Complete relief from immigration procedure and permit application for highly skilled migrants
The meaning of the term highly skilled migrant is defined by law as someone who comes from outside the European Union (including Switzerland) to work in the Netherlands. This refers to a highly educated person who comes to work in the Netherlands as a highly skilled migrant because of his or her specialized knowledge.
There are specific requirements, conditions and salary criteria for employing a highly skilled migrant. The main goal of the highly skilled migrant scheme is to make it more attractive for students and highly skilled migrants to work in the Netherlands. Their knowledge and talent can boost the Dutch economy, prosperity and education.
The highly skilled migrant scheme created by the Netherlands allows you as an employer to hire highly skilled migrants easily and quickly (under certain conditions). Simply put, this regulation relaxes the entry requirements for highly skilled migrants.

How our Immigration services work
Com.pas can fully support you in the process where you want to bring employees from outside the European Union to the Netherlands, but we can also be the referent for highly skilled migrants who are already in the Netherlands.
You immediately benefit from our up-to-date knowledge and take the complex and time-consuming process completely off your hands. So that the application for a residence permit based on the highly skilled migrant scheme runs smoothly.
Besides our advisory role, we also take care of collecting the necessary data of the highly skilled migrant and check if they meet the set requirements. This allows the highly skilled migrant(s) you recruit to start working quickly and hassle-free.
Through our payroll services, we completely take over the immigration procedure from you. We arrange the permit application with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (“IND”) and are the legal employer here. We then make the highly skilled migrant exclusively available to you as a hirer.

The 30% rule
Employees from abroad who temporarily stay and work in the Netherlands incur additional costs for housing, among other things. These are the so-called extraterritorial costs. With the 30% ruling, these employees are financially compensated by deducting up to 30% of the annual fiscal salary and then paying out a net (i.e. untaxed) amount. To take advantage of the 30% ruling, the employer and employee must submit a request to the Tax Office. The Tax Office then checks, among other things, whether the following conditions are met:
-
The employee was recruited outside the Netherlands and he or she lived more than 16 of the total 24 months prior to working in the Netherlands at more than 150 km from the Dutch border
- The employee is registered in the Netherlands and employed by the employer
- The employee adds something to the Dutch economy (for highly skilled migrants this is almost always the case)
- The employee must meet the annual applicable salary criterion
