Convert the "search year highly skilled" residence permit to a residence permit as a knowledge migrant.
The Netherlands considers it important to give highly educated students the opportunity and time to find a job in our country after their studies. With a search year permit also called search year highly educated, recent graduates with a nationality from outside the European Union can stay and work in the Netherlands for a period of up to one year.
There is no requirement during this search year to work for an employer who is an approved referent. During this year, as a graduate student, you can work for any employer in any type of job.
If you want to continue living and working in the Netherlands after the search year highly educated, the residence permit ‘search year highly educated’ must be converted into a residence permit as a highly skilled migrant before the end of the search year by an employer who is a recognized referent with the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) or you start working as a self-employed person. An additional advantage for your employer is that a reduced salary criterion (€2989,-) applies. The reduced salary criterion remains applicable as long as you continue to work continuously for an employer who is a sponsor with the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND).
Highly educated people who graduated abroad can also apply for a residence permit “search year highly educated” in the Netherlands and thus use the reduced salary criterion. For them, they must have obtained a master’s degree in the past 3 years. They must have obtained the degree from one of the universities in the top-200 rankings of the most recent list of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the QS World University Rankings, or the Shanghai Jiao Tong Ranking. The prerequisite is that the university appears on two of the three rankings in the year of graduation and that the application is submitted within three years of graduation.
