As you may be aware, the Dutch Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) annually indexes salary thresholds and fees for permit applications. Below is an overview of the new salary requirements and governmental fees effective January 1, 2025:

Minimum gross monthly salary (excluding 8% holiday allowance):

• Highly Skilled Migrant or Intra-Corporate Transferees of 30 years and older – EUR 5,688
• Highly Skilled Migrant or Intra-Corporate Transferees younger than 30 years – EUR 4,171
• Reduced salary criterion for Highly Skilled Migrant – EUR 2,989
• EU Blue Card – EUR 5,688
• Reduced salary criterion for EU Blue Card – EUR 4,551

IND fees for Highly Skilled Migrant, Intra-Corporate Transferees, and EU Blue Card (per application):

• First application (or extension) for employee – EUR 405

Please note that the above salary requirements and fees only apply to permit applications submitted and received by the IND in 2025. If a permit or extension application is submitted in 2024, the current 2024 salary thresholds will still apply, even if the employment contract begins in early 2025.
