About
Netherlands Point of Entry is a government information and referral service aimed at individuals rather than companies. Its site describes it as the first stop for international talent who want to work or set up a business in the Netherlands, and says it advises entrepreneurs, graduates and professionals on which residence permits are open to them. It offers guidance on the legal procedures, on the financial requirements attached to those routes and on the visa application process, and it says it connects people to authorised facilitators and gives personal guidance through the move. Its About page describes the service as an operational unit of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and its privacy notice states that the site is powered by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency together with that ministry, giving the agency's address on Prinses Beatrixlaan in The Hague. Contact runs through a form whose subject options are working in the Netherlands, starting a business, studying in the Netherlands, and other questions.
