Netherlands authorities implemented new EU Blue Card regulations to transpose the new Directive into national law.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The new legislation from the Immigration and Naturalization Service also aims to relax rules for long-term mobility and residence, and unemployment through administrative policy changes among other changes. EU Blue Card holders can continue to work in the Netherlands for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without a work permit but holders who have resided for at least 12 months in another EU Member State are now eligible to enter and work for longer than 90 days without a separate visa when they previously had to wait 18 months. Finally, Blue Card holders with at least two years of employment can be unemployed for up to six months without losing their status.
BAL Analysis: The government is implementing the requirements of Directive (EU) 2021/1883 to restructure and widen the migration possibilities with an EU Blue Card. They are also revising key policies and administrative practices in addition to the Directive to make it easier for skilled workers to live and work in the Netherlands.
