    1. Make a minimum investment of €1,250,000 in a Dutch company or fund.

NETHERLANDS: PROCESS

Here is the general procedure to receive a residence permit through investment in the Netherlands. The process could be different for you depending on your specific situation. For this reason, the following is only for reference purposes.

Stage 1: Submit the application.

Embarking on the journey towards Dutch residency commences with the submission of requisite forms and documents, aligned with the investor immigration program. Our dedicated team stands ready to assist you in compiling, translating, and legalizing the essential supporting materials, tailored to your specific circumstances. Depending on nationality, some individuals might need to concurrently apply for the Long Stay Visa (MVV) and the residence permit.

Upon completing the application process, you’ll receive correspondence from the Dutch representation, outlining the application fee of €2,283 to be settled.

Subsequently, the consular authorities representing the Netherlands within your nation of origin or residence will dispatch your application to the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) of the Netherlands. Assuming you satisfy the program’s stipulated criteria, the IND will grant a residence permit, alongside an MVV if deemed necessary.

 

Stage 2: Granting of a temporary residence permit. 

Once you receive a positive response, you will receive a letter concerning the follow-up procedure. In case you find the need for a Provisional Residence Permit, you’ll have the opportunity to collect it from the Netherlands Embassy or Consulate in your present country of residence. During this procedure, ensure your passport photo aligns with Dutch specifications. The next step involves the Netherlands consular officials recording your fingerprints. On the other hand, if this doesn’t apply to your situation, upon your arrival in the Netherlands, it’s essential to visit an IND counter for the purpose of gathering your biometric data.

Stage 3: Travel to the Netherlands.

Your residency authorisation will be prepared within a fortnight subsequent to your arrival in the Netherlands. The Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) will forward a communication detailing the collection date for your residence permit. As part of your initial months in the country, adhering to your prior commitment, you should secure health insurance and fulfill the tuberculosis test. Our team is at your service to assist you in identifying the most fitting health insurance option. Ultimately, the residency permit is initially granted for up to 3 years, with the possibility of extension for an additional 5 years.

NETHERLANDS: DOCUMENTS

All official foreign documents must be legalised and translated into Dutch, English, French or German. Some more documents may be required depending on your nationality or the investment option you chose. Here is a general list of the documents you will need for the application:

    2. Birth act;
    3. Marriage certificate (if applicable);
    4. Diploma(s);
