The Netherlands’ business climate and strategic location make it one of the best countries for business

  The Netherlands, also known as the “gateway to Europe,” is the most competitive economy according to the WEF Competitiveness Index in Europe and one of the best countries for business investment in the world. With just over 17 million inhabitants, our country is small but full of innovation. Our nation has a lot going for it. A great location, extremely well-connected, and a highly educated and skilled workforce, make the Netherlands an attractive place for business. The Netherlands: a well-connected business location The Netherlands is strategically located on continental Europe with access to 170 million consumers within 500 km and 244 million consumers within 1,000 km. This means that major European economies, like Germany, the United Kingdom., France, are all within a day’s reach. In addition to physical connectivity, the Netherlands is a digital frontrunner and has the highest broadband penetration per capita in the world, which means companies can stay conne...

The practical implications of a no-deal Brexit for British citizens travelling to the EU

I can recommend this article from Free Movement: Free Movement:The practical implications of a no-deal Brexit for British citizens travelling to the EU https://www.freemovement.org.uk/the-practical-implications-of-a-no-deal-brexit-for-british-citizens-travelling-to-the-eu/ However I discovered two mistakes: According to the writer in case a visa will be required, business people would not be able to work in a Schengenstate while visiting. " If the EU were to impose visas, even if only for short stays, UK business visitors would be among the most affected. The limited period of stay (in many cases as short as five days), the restricted scope of permitted activities, and in particular the frequent need to apply for a visa will cause many British business travellers considerable trouble. A business short-stay visa does not permit one to remain in the Schengen area for more than three months, to establish a business, trade or profession, to make business deals, to recr...

Improved access to the Dutch labour market

From April 1, 2017, highly skilled migrants, scientific researchers and students have gained broader access to the Dutch labour market. Now, the employment status on their residence card includes the possibility to work as a self-employed person. Scientific researchers are free on the labour market; meaning they can accept work in paid employment, next to their position as a researcher. Making use of the self-employed option If you want to make use of the self-employment option, you do not have to apply for a new residence card first. You can go to the Chamber of Commerce directly to register your company. Just keep in mind that the conditions for the residence permit as a highly skilled migrant, scientific researcher or student have not changed and you still need to comply with them - your employment or studies may not be negatively affected by your business activities. This newly gained access to the labour market as an e...

Gevonden op Iamexpat . Bedenk wel dat legaal verblijf in Nederland afhangt van de nationaliteit van de aanvrager en het soort bedrijf dat diegene in Nederland wil starten. Starting a business in the Netherlands 16 April 2010 Business ownership can be a wonderful way to take control of your expatriate life and create a career that is uniquely your own.
