Transferring highly-skilled
workers from the US
Patrick Rovers answers a readers question regarding the use of the knowledge migrant system in the Netherlands and whether this can apply to Indian workers who are currently officially employed by a US company, but who will need to transfer to a Dutch subsidiary to carry out work on an intermittent basis.
"Our company is officially headquartered in Germany. We want to assign five Indian nationals - who are currently employed by our US subsidiary in New York - to our subsidiary in the Netherlands. They will be working in the Netherlands on an intermittent basis. Probably four months in the Netherlands, a couple of weeks in the US and so on. The Indian nationals are legally residing in the US and hold valid US visas.
Perhaps we will make use of that special programme for highly skilled people. Is that possible? The Indian nationals are worried about obtaining Dutch residence permits.
