Get set up to work in the Netherlands with the help of Payingit International

Payingit International is recognised by the IND as an official sponsor. Contact them now!

Before you start packing your bags to move to the Netherlands for your next job, please read this to make sure you are properly prepared for the process. There are some things you will be glad to know before you arrive in the country, and Payingit International lays them out for you here.

Before arriving in the Netherlands

If you are a citizen of a non-EU country, the IND (Immigration and Naturalisation Service) is where you start your process. If you qualify as a knowledge migrant, they are the ones who grant you knowledge migrant status.

You will be notified that you can collect your MVV (Authorisation for Temporary Stay) from the Dutch embassy or consulate where you live. Please note that you have to be granted the MVV before you can leave for the Netherlands.

Once you have arrived in the Netherlands, you will need to pick up your IND residence card and register at the municipality (gemeente) where you are going to live. The gemeente will issue you a Burger Service Number (BSN), which you will need in order to open a bank account and set up your health insurance. Everyone needs one, Dutch citizens as well as EU citizens.

Please find more information here: I am a Knowledge Migrant. How should I act??

Recognised sponsor

Payingit International is recognised by the IND as an official sponsor. This sounds impressive but what does it actually mean? It means the IND considers Payingit International a trustworthy and reliable company that will adhere to the rules and requirements when they hire a knowledge migrant. It also means that the company is able to act as an employer.

Payroll Umbrella Services

Sometimes, a company that would like to hire you can’t employ you directly, resulting in a waste of skills and knowledge and a missed job opportunity. Payingit International can handle the payroll, which is very helpful to your hirer – and you get the job. Find out more about their Payroll Umbrella Services.

Okay. This is all very nice, but what effect does this have on me as a knowledge migrant?

It means Payingit International can get you set up to work here, that’s what! Here’s what you need to know. If you are going to be staying in the Netherlands for more than 90 days, you will need to have a residence permit instead of the MVV. Payingit International can help you with the application process and, since they are a recognised sponsor, they will be able to get you working, usually within six to eight weeks.

30% ruling

The Netherlands offers generous tax incentives for highly skilled foreigners such as the 30% ruling. Do you qualify? The 30% ruling is a Dutch tax facility aimed at attracting employees with specific skills or expertise, subject to certain conditions. Applying the ruling has benefits for both employees and employers. Check how it works and what the conditions are.

Have Payingit International calculate your take-home pay!

Your take-home pay

You probably don’t want a master’s degree in Dutch tax and pay rules; you just want to know your take-home pay amount. They have you covered – just get in touch with them via the contact button and they will calculate your take-home pay as well as what the cost would be to the hirer if they use Payingit International’s service.

Payingit International’s mission

By providing quick responses and turnaround times and offering a user-friendly customer experience, Payingit International has become one of the best in the HR services industry. Their experts, acting with integrity and accountability, are committed to the growth and development of their clients.

Get in touch with Payingit International

Payingit International likes helping clients do business and getting projects up and running in the Netherlands. They do this by helping both hirers and employees with their Dutch employment issues.

The process takes time and involves lots of questions; in particular, the pre-employment period is really important. Payingit International works hard to make sure that everything that must be done before the client arrives in the Netherlands is done and settled so that everyone can get to work fast.

Residence and work permits, HR issues, tax withholding, or 30% rulings – Payingit International provides them all. However, what clients really appreciate them for is making the difficult Dutch rules and legislation easy to understand and providing the requested solution!

Payingit International will keep you posted

Because new rules and legislation may apply to you and Payingit International specialises in these specific and complex topics, the company suggests that you stay up to date with the latest changes in payroll, immigration services, and employment matters.
