EU Blue Card (Europese Blauwe Kaart)

De EU Blue Card is een werk- en verblijfsvergunning voor hoogopgeleide arbeidsmigranten van buiten de Europese Unie. Belangrijkste criteria zijn een salarisdrempel en opleidingseis. De EU Blue Card geeft een beperkte mate van arbeidsmobiliteit binnen de EU.

Om in Nederland in aanmerking te komen voor een EU Blue Card moet de arbeidsmigrant een minimaal bruto maandsalaris van € 5.867 (exclusief 8% vakantietoeslag) verdienen. Dit komt neer op een bruto jaarsalaris van € 70.404 (exclusief 8% vakantietoeslag).

Bachelor opleiding

Ook moet de aanvrager minimaal een driejarige opleiding van hoger onderwijs hebben afgerond. En de opleiding moet passen bij de functie die de Europese Blauwe Kaarthouder gaat vervullen in Nederland. Het buitenlandse diploma moet worden gewaardeerd door Internationale diplomawaardering (IDW).

Gezinshereniging

Gezinshereniging van echtgenoten, geregistreerd partners en minderjarige kinderen van de EU Blue Card houder is toegestaan. Deze gezinsleden hebben vrije toegang tot de arbeidsmarkt.

EU Blue Card vergeleken met Kennismigrant

De EU Blue Card heeft enkele voordelen ten opzichte van een verblijfsvergunning als kennismigrant.

  1. Indien een houder van een EU Blue Card 18 maanden of langer in een andere EU-lidstaat heeft verbleven, telt deze periode mee voor de 5 jaar verblijf die is vereist voor een verblijfsvergunning voor onbepaalde tijd. Bij een aanvraag in de tweede lidstaat wordt wel weer opnieuw beoordeeld of aan de voorwaarden wordt voldaan.
  2. De onderneming hoeft niet te zijn erkend als referent door de IND voordat de EU Blue Card kan worden aangevraagd. Dit in tegenstelling tot aanvraag verblijfsvergunning als kennismigrant.
  3. Ook zijn de eisen om in aanmerking te komen voor een permanente verblijfsvergunning (EG-langdurig ingezetene) soepeler. De EU Blue Card houder mag voor een periode van maximaal 12 aaneengesloten maanden en 18 maanden in totaal, terugkeren naar zijn land van herkomst voor het doel van arbeid, vrijwilligerswerk of studie, zonder dat de termijn om in aanmerking te komen voor een verblijfsvergunning voor onbepaalde tijd wordt onderbroken. Ook kunnen periodes van verblijf in verschillende EU-lidstaten bij elkaar worden opgeteld voor de vereiste 5 jaar legaal verblijf vereist om in aanmerking te komen voor de permanente EG-langdurig ingezetene verblijfsvergunning.

Procedure EU Blue Card

Een beslissing op een machtiging tot voorlopig verblijf (mvv) voor een EU Blue Card kan ongeveer 3 maanden duren. Een beslissing op een aanvraag voor een EU Blue Card verblijfsvergunning mag maximaal 90 dagen duren.

Marek Macek, Consulting Director

“We have not had a single instance where Kroes Advocaten did not deliver what was promised to us. They are typically very specific about the process, costs and timelines. This is a great value-add to us, as it simply takes away another risk item and allows us to successfully live up to our commitments to our customers.”

Vera Hoffmann, Global Mobility Manager

"They are great to work with, responsiveness, knowledgeable and great communication to our foreigners. "

Parag Deshpande, Sr. Director

“All expectations met. They also helped set a process for audit from IND in Netherlands for us which is really handy. They maintain a copy of each case in electronic and physical format at their office. Also reminders on expiring visas and application to renew the same in time is handy.”

Marios Stangonis, Legal Department

“The team of KROES Advocaten leaves us always satisfied with the quality of the services they provide us with. They know very well the technicalities of Dutch immigration law and legal procedures and are able to give us precise direction within short deadlines. We feel confident that every issue we assign them is under control.”

Martijn Coeveld, Director of Operations

“We consider Kroes Advocaten as one of our key partners; they play an essential role in recruiting new talent for TBA. Kroes Advocaten provide clarity early-on, get to action promptly and are responsive throughout the entire visa application process.”

Anurag Nautiyal, Sales Director & Head – Continental Europe

“I would like to thank Kroes Advocaten  for the excellent job that all of you have done in managing these assignments. It was professionally handled, expertly managed, with timely updates and at no point did it seem that you are not in control. “

Nynke Doorenbos, Executive Vice President, HR, Legal and Operations

"We have been working with Kroes Advocaten for several years mainly in relation to Visa applications for expats. We value their efficiency, responsiveness and professionalism. Based on our experience in working with them, we have complete faith in their capabilities of getting the job done! On behalf of our organisation I take this opportunity to thank Sander Groen, Sarah Lindeboom and the rest of the team for always delivering excellence and organizing valuable seminars and events for knowledge sharing. Very much appreciated!"

Kailas Ugale, Manager – Visa & Immigration

“Kroes Advocaten  is a leader in the field of Dutch Immigration law, work permit and process and consistently provides us with outstanding value. Their service remains extremely client oriented, user friendly and highly efficient. Their fees are extremely competitive yet they offer solid legal strategic advice with consistently high service and results.”

Venera Khairullina, Visa Strategy & Compliance Group

"We  have been working with Kroes Advocaten for all our visa applications in Netherlands. They have been very efficient, responsive, and have a high-skilled team of immigration specialists. They also very good in finding smart solutions that are compliant with the local laws and regulations and they timely warn us about any changes in the local law. We are generally very pleased with their assistance."

Joe White, Regional Manager

"Kroes Advocaten have assisted us with the relocation of many staff in recent years. Their work has been exemplary - we've never had any issues, everything is completed on time and for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs to transfer staff from overseas to The Netherlands."

Henk Offermans, Finance & HR Manager

Kroes Advocaten have assisted us a few times now with expats coming from Japan and we can testify that they have a very straightforward approach. What really stands out is their way of communication. They are clear on every step, inform us immediately when there is new information and also help the expats, who are unfamiliar with the Netherlands, by showing them what to do in a clear way when their input is required. Our expats are very positive about the service delivered.

Teresa Vanderlaan, Global Humans Resources Manager 

Many times we are all rushing to get work completed and forget the simple words of “thank you”.  I wanted to stop today and tell you I truly appreciate how responsive you and your team are, how you communicate and explain the world of immigration to myself and colleagues, and your availability to myself and anyone on my team.  While I am half Dutch, I have heard generalizations made, that the Dutch are very slow in responding and working.  That has not been the case with you and you have no idea how helpful it has been for me to work with you.  So “thank you”.  You help me make my job easier. 

Barak Bar-Hen, CEO Elad Europe

"The Elad Europe group has started working with Mr. Sander Groen since 2007, and is using his good services for its employees. Mr. Groen has shown that he has vast knowledge, experience and good contacts within the authorities and always provided best results in minimum time."

Cristina Ruz , HR Director, Strategic HR Business Partner

"Sheryl Goldberg is one of the best Immigration professionals that I have worked with. She has a vast knowledge of the immigration system but her differentiator is the way she applies this to any business situation together with her direct and plain way to explain the solutions. In additional to this, Sheryl is great and positive person and we find her as an extension to our HR team. Thanks so much Sheryl for all your help!"

Amy Darling

“Jelle was a fantastic partner and advisor throughout the process of applying for nearly 20 work permits for our staff. He was always very transparent about the work that needed to be completed for the best results and was very upfront about the costs of that work. We never felt manipulated or neglected, and both Jelle and his team were very pleasant to work with. We would highly recommend hiring Jelle and his team for any US companies hoping to obtain permits for working in the Netherlands.”
