Frequently asked questions about the Dutch self-employment visa
Below you will find answers to key questions related to the Dutch self-employment visa, including requirements, the application process, and main benefits.
Is the Self-employment Visa the best option?
Not always. Due to strict requirements and a points-based evaluation system, this route can be unpredictable. In many cases, alternative residence solutions offer a more structured and reliable pathway.
Can I still run my own business without a Self-employment Visa?
Yes. There are alternative residence permits that allow you to establish and operate a business in the Netherlands, depending on your structure and setup.
How do I know which route is best for me?
We assess your profile, professional background, and goals to recommend the most suitable immigration strategy.
How long does the process take?
Timelines vary depending on the chosen route, but alternative solutions are often more predictable and can be faster than the self-employment visa process.
Do I need a detailed business plan?
For the Self-employment Visa, a highly detailed and structured business plan is required. For alternative routes, the requirements are often more practical and aligned with execution.
Can freelancers apply through alternative routes?
Yes. Freelancers and independent professionals can often qualify through structured pathways that allow business activity alongside residency.
Is there a minimum investment required?
This depends on the chosen pathway. Some routes require structured company setup rather than a fixed investment amount.
Do I need to be physically present in the Netherlands to start?
Not necessarily. Many steps, including company formation and initial procedures, can be handled remotely.
What happens if my Self-employment Visa is rejected?
You can still explore alternative residence solutions. In many cases, switching to a different pathway is a more effective approach.
Do you provide support after relocation?
Yes. We offer ongoing support including accounting, compliance, and operational guidance after your business is established.
What happens after obtaining residency?
Depending on your situation, long-term residence and eventual citizenship may become possible over time, subject to applicable requirements.
