What is IN Amsterdam?

IN Amsterdam provides a one-stop-shop service for companies and their highly-skilled migrant employees, scientific researchers, international entrepreneurs and international graduates in the Amsterdam Area.

Services include residence and work permit procedures (including the start-up visa), registration with the municipality and the 30% tax ruling.

What are the Changes?

  • As of January 1, 2020, IN Amsterdam will increase all its rates by 20%.
  • From 2021 the fees will be annually indexed.
  • New businesses are no longer excluded from paying service fees during their first year in the Amsterdam Area, or for their first 10 employee applications (whichever occurred first). This change took effect on July 1, 2019.
  • Fees will apply for all children, rather than only the first two children as at present.

SAUDI ARABIA: Update on Suspension of Work Visit Visas

At A Glance

Saudi Arabia is expected to introduce a new temporary work visa in the coming months, following the elimination of the country’s only short-term work authorization option in October.

Details of the new visa have not been released. Until the new visa becomes available, there will not be an immigration option for foreign nationals seeking to work short-term in Saudi Arabia.

We are discussing the impact of the change and potential solutions for short-term work with Saudi consular authorities and relevant ministries and will issue an update if new information becomes available.
