Setting up a Business or Branch Office in the Netherlands?
Change in MVV requirement
As of 1 October 2015 a MVV exemption is introduced for third country nationals who in general need a MVV to enter the Netherlands and who are holder of a valid residence permit in another Schengen country. This exemption is applicable to nationals who apply for legal residence through a recognized sponsor, e.g. a highly skilled migrant, student. This facility also applies to family members of the migrant.
This change means that applicants can start working much sooner in the Netherlands without having to go to the Dutch embassy first to collect the MVV before entering the Netherlands.
