Payrolling

Can payrolling be used for a highly skilled migrant?

Beyond Consultancy

Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons companies come to us. A highly skilled migrant can only be employed by a company the IND has recognised as a sponsor, which a newly incorporated Dutch company is not. Because we hold that recognition and are an SNA-certified payroll company, we can employ the person, file the residence permit application and pay a salary that meets the required threshold, while they work for your business. When your own entity later obtains recognition, the employment can be transferred to it.
