Work, Investment & Cross-Border Mobility Solutions
For international professionals, investors, and companies, the Netherlands and EU offer several immigration pathways. The most common are the Highly Skilled Migrant permit, the EU Blue Card, and the EU Investment Visa (Golden Visa). In addition, international corporations can rely on the Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) route and Cross-Border Posted Worker solutions to move staff efficiently within Europe.
At Singh Lawyers, we analyse your profile and objectives to determine the most effective route — whether you are an employee, an employer, or an investor establishing a European presence.
