Netherlands` Startup Visa is a fake (August 9, 2019)
Epigraph: “Ambitious entrepreneurs are a source of innovation and new jobs. Their contribution to our economic growth is invaluable. With this plan we give them space to do business and we remove barriers,” said Minister of Economic Affairs Henk Kamp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henk_Kamp) (http://www.businessclubspanje.nl/es/start-visa-starting-innovative-spanish-companies-wanting-locate-netherlands/)
Here is a story about our attempt to apply for the Netherlands` startup permit. We are an innovative experienced software development company and interested in exploring new markets and placing us in a new environment.
Startup visa is a residence permit that gives foreign entrepreneurs 1 year to build new innovative company in the Netherlands, during this year startup must be supervised by a local facilitator (Application, https://ind.nl/en/Forms/7558.pdf). It is needed to travel to the country and perform preparatory steps. I would divide those to obligatory administrative procedures - registering with Chamber of Commerce, opening a bank account, etc. and business procedures that entrepreneur will need in the first place for the business. You need in close collaboration with a local expert a facilitator analyze your business in the market, do you have a matching understanding team, do you have a matching market, who are your competitors if there are any, does all the factors match each other. It is possible to know only when you travel to the country. If everything match – then you can head out to administrative steps, right after it is possible and preferable to apply for residence permit directly inside the country, no need to travel back home for that, quite convenient.
Digging inside official terms it is referred to as the “start-up permit” by IND (Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service, https://ind.nl/) or the “residence permit for foreign startups programme” by RVO (Netherlands Enterprise Agency, https://english.rvo.nl/subsidies-programmes/residence-permit-foreign-startups), while it is used to be known to general public as the “Startup visa”, for example by the English-language Point of Single Contact (PSC) for resident and foreign entrepreneurs (https://business.gov.nl/coming-to-the-netherlands/permits-and-visa/startup-visa), I will refer to it as the “Startup permit” as it referred in IND`s forms.
We`ve found a matching facilitator, decided together to meet on the Dutch soil and start this process. We needed to apply first in consulate for short-term simple visa, supported by invitation from facilitator (f. #1 Invitation letter from the facilitator), describing purpose of the visit.
And guess what? We`ve received short-term visa refusal with confusing reasons and stayed at home.
