Say you’re in the Netherlands on a tourist visa, while waiting for your partnership visa to be processed, and you start applying for jobs, can you still be considered for the 30% ruling that way? Just wondering because I noticed that a lot of jobs listings, at least in my industry, want to hire someone local to Amsterdam or within the Netherlands. I just think it would help my chances of success if I’m already in the Netherlands applying to jobs before getting the Visa.

Can I apply with partnership visa since I am married to Dutch and we already applied for the partner visa but at the same time apply for a job in the Netherlands while still not yet in Europe so I still qualify as a highly skilled migrant and its benefits? Since in partnership visa I have to get a new driver’s license and pay full tax.

Great question! If you'll already have the right to stay here on the partner visa, then there's no need to apply for the Highly Skilled Migrant visa (you should apply for just one at a time with these) But, if you get a job before you arrive to the Netherlands - then you might be eligible for the 30% ruling, which would help with both the tax and exchanging your driving licence :) You can check out our video or blog post called "Everything you need to know about the 30% ruling" for more details on the eligibility criteria!

I’ve been applying to a lot of jobs in the netherlands, I’m from Mexico and most of the companies doesn’t want to interview me because I’m not even in the netherlands wich make everything more difficult 😢 And in the consulate of netherlans says you can have the MVV for yourself so now I’m more confused 😭😭😖

So I don’t understand how am I supposed to get a job with sponsor visa if they didn’t even want to interview me 😢😢

@@citlalialvarezcadena4157So sorry to hear about your experience so far! When it comes to an MVV - this is just a document that allows you to enter the Netherlands (it's also called "authorization for temporary stay"), so it's not a residency/work permit in its own. When it comes to your job search, this depends on quite a few factors - like your industry, level of experience, the way you're applying... We don't specialize in the job search process, but we might be able to recommend a job coach depending on your specific situation. If you'd like that, you can email us with more information on what you're looking for.
