Applicants for renewal of a Netherlands’ residence permit for the highly skilled migrant no longer need to enter the salary of the highly skilled migrant in the online application form. The self-declaration is sufficient.
Applicants must declare the following:
- The highly skilled migrant meets the applicable salary criterion;
- The salary is in line with the market. ‘In line with the market’ means that the highly skilled migrant earns the same as what people earn on average in the same job;
- The salary is transferred to a bank account in the highly skilled migrant’s name. The payment is made within one month.
No longer filling in the salary means less administrative burden for you and the IND. The new form does not change the rights and obligations of a recognized sponsor.
