The Dutch government is tightening its oversight of the Highly Skilled Migrant (HSM) scheme, signalling a shift toward more rigorous enforcement of immigration compliance. As part of this effort, the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) has increased inspection visits and is scrutinising recognised sponsors more closely than ever before.

The global minimum tax rules under the OECD’s Pillar 2 framework are no longer a distant prospect, they are here and reshaping the tax landscape for multinational businesses. Watch Episode 1 of our video series for a clear, practical overview of the essentials.

The Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) annually adjusts the minimum salary requirements for Highly Skilled Migrants and other employees relocating from outside the EU to the Netherlands. Below you will find the updated salary thresholds for 2026.
