Jobs in the Netherlands for Expats

Find jobs in the Netherlands open to international candidates. Some employers offer relocation support. Amsterdam is Europe's top destination for international tech and startup professionals.

598 vacancies available

Working in Netherlands

Possible country route: Highly Skilled Migrant / EU Blue Card. The highly skilled migrant route normally requires an IND recognised employer and the applicable salary requirement. A residence card in another EU state does not automatically grant Dutch work permission.

IND decision period: up to 90 days, with shorter procedures in some cases. Employer preparation and legalisation take additional time.

What to check before applying
  1. Verify the sponsor. Check the IND recognised-sponsor register and confirm who submits the application.
  2. Confirm the salary category. Ask the employer which current income requirement applies.
  3. Prepare entry and residence documents. The need for an MVV depends on nationality and circumstances; check IND.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 30% ruling in the Netherlands?

The Dutch Expat Scheme can provide a tax-free allowance when its conditions are met. Recruitment from abroad, residence history and indexed income rules matter; the employer and employee must apply. Visa sponsorship does not establish tax-relief eligibility. Check Belastingdienst for current conditions.

Do I need a Dutch work permit?

Non-EU citizens need a residence permit for work, such as a highly skilled migrant permit, a European Blue Card or a Combined Permit (GVVA). Your employer (a recognised sponsor for the highly skilled migrant route) usually applies for the permit. Processing times vary: check the IND for the current ones.

What salary can I expect in Amsterdam?

Software engineers earn €55,000–€90,000/year. If you qualify for the 30% ruling (Dutch Expat Scheme), take-home pay is higher. Amsterdam has a dense tech ecosystem with many global companies (ASML, Booking.com, Adyen, TomTom).
