Effective January 1, 2025, the salary criteria for highly skilled migrants and EU Blue Card holders will change. This is important for all organizations that employ or want to attract international talent.
Here are the new gross monthly amounts in a row:
- Highly skilled migrant (30 years and older): €5,688.00
- Highly skilled migrant (younger than 30 years): €4,171.00
- Highly skilled migrant with reduced criterion: €2,989.00
- EU Blue Card: €5,688.00
- EU Blue Card with reduced criterion: €4,551.00
Please note: These amounts exclude 8% vacation allowance and apply only to stipulated, monthly fees. Market conformity is required (except for the EU Blue Card, which has different requirements).
Nothing will change for existing residence permits, but changes in circumstances may be affected. And for applications submitted before January 1, 2025, the 2024 salary criterion will apply. Also, in situations where the Application for Entry and Residence (TEV) was submitted before January 1, 2025 while the Highly skilled migrant will not travel to the Netherlands until 2025, the old criterion applies
